Faculty Library Guide

This guide presents an overview of library resources and services for Faculty.

Faculty Requests

The Library values our faculty feedback and recommendations for improving library collections. We welcome any suggestions for adding new resources to the library. The Library seriously considers all purchase suggestions, based on the guidelines set forth in the Library Collection Development Policy. Please keep in mind, as a virtual university, we can only consider acquiring electronic resources, such as eBooks, eJournals, databases, and/or streaming media. If you have any questions or would like to speak with a library representative about a possible acquisition, please feel free to contact the Library at library@ncu.edu. To recommend an item for purchase, please use the suggestion form located in the box below.

We also encourage all faculty to explore Faculty Select. Faculty Select empowers academic libraries to directly support textbook affordability efforts. Through a single interface, faculty can search and access quality open textbooks, Open Educational Resources (OER), and request access to unrestricted library e-books from top academic publishers. By leveraging free open materials and low-cost library-licensed resources, faculty can transform their courses and reduce the cost burden for students.

Find out more on the Faculty Select page.
