Without leaving one's office, a faculty member can also request reference assistance via e-mail or the Web.
   Supporting communication with the library staff are: a list of the faculty liaison librarian for each department; information about requesting a bibliographic instruction session for your class; and examples of course guides created for these sessions.

Check out that link and others for: copyright and fair use information; scholarly book reviews from H-NET Reviews; online directories to find faculty at other colleges and universities; and contact information for periodical publishers and suppliers of in-print and out-of-print books and periodicals.

2.   DATABASES
A. ACM DIGITAL LIBRARY ADDED
Fogler Library is pleased to announce ACM Digital Library, a scholarly research database for computer science and information technology. Published by the Association of Computing Machinery, much of the content was previously available at the library only in print. .

There are two parts to the ACM Digital Library: The Digital Library Core Package includes the full-text of over 40 ACM computing and information technology journals, magazines and transactions in an online archive ranging from the 1950s to current publications. The Digital Library Master Special Interest Group (SIG) Package includes the full text of all ACM conference proceedings and newsletters in full text, dating back to the early 1950s. Together, these packages provide a complete backfile of all ACM publications in a fully searchable full-text database.
