Instruction

Working with the faculty, the library provides course-integrated research activities for students, including:

  • Class sessions
  • Individual and small group meetings
  • Active research assignments and logs

Contact your liaison librarian for customized research instruction, assignments and tours.

Reserves

The library will place books or films on Reserve for your classes; articles should be scanned and made available via Moodle. In-Library use only designation is available for personal copies. Please turn your materials in early enough to allow time for processing, and include a course syllabus with your first request.

Request Materials for Purchase

Your Liaison Librarian can assist you in identifying titles in a specific research area; he or she can also provide you with regular updates about new publications in your field.

OER

The Wyndham Robertson Library is dedicated to providing access to books and films for students of all socioeconomic backgrounds. As part of this work, the library is partnering with faculty to identify open educational resources and library-subscribed resources that may be used as required course materials, in place of traditional expensive textbooks.

Publishing

The library can help to make your scholarship more visible, and potentially increase its impact, by covering your open access publication fees (commonly known as author processing charges) through Read and Publish Agreements with certain scholarly publishers. Check out our current Read and Publish agreements.

If you publish in a paywalled journal, you may still be able to openly share a version of your work, whether through a subject repository or in the Hollins Digital Commons. Talk to your liaison librarian or to Luke Vilelle, lvilelle@hollins.edu, about the possibilities.
