Faculty Services
Mission College Library provides academic support services for faculty in all programs. Stop by the Library or make an appointment for a personal orientation to our services. Reviewing course needs with the librarians will ensure that we have all the materials students need to successfully complete your course.
Includes information on borrowing material, instructor reserves, textbook reserves, electronic resources, and Library services.
The easiest way to access research assistance, subject guides, and useful resources both on- and off-campus.
Faculty are encouraged to use articles from the subscription databases as course material. However, instead of copying articles or linking directly to them, we recommend that you provide your students with the instructions on how to find the article. For a template that you can use to provide instructions for your students, refer to the Database Search Instructions handout.
