Budget Allocation
The department allocation for 2205/2006 is: $3500.00
Book Requests
All book requests
should be submitted via the online form accessible from the Library home page at
http://www.westga.edu/~library/cgi-bin/libfrls1.cgi. Please note that this is a link to
*all* the electronic request forms for faculty, so you must use the drop-down menu to select
Book Purchase under "What type of request do you want to make?"
The deadline for requesting new books for the current fiscal year is December 16, 2005. Adhering to this date will allow
the Library Acquisitions staff time to notify you of “out of prints” so you may
make alternate selections. Book orders should be placed for 110% of the
Department allocation to cover out of prints and discounts. Book funds cannot be used for
journal requests.
Please contact me if you feel there are notable gaps in the collection or important
reference sources that we lack. I am also available to discuss your own research and teaching
needs to make sure our collection development profile reflects those needs.
Periodical Requests
New
periodical subscription requests are due in the Library by
September 9, 2005. A subscription request must be accompanied by a
matching subscription cancellation request. There can be no extension of the journal
request/change deadline as our periodical vendors cannot guarantee delivery of the January
2006 issues if we do not have all orders placed by October 1. Requests should be made on the
Web forms available from the Library home page at http://www.westga.edu/~library/cgi-bin/libfrls1.cgi. Again, this is a link
to *all* of the electronic request forms for faculty, so you must use the drop-down menu to
select Periodical Purchase under "What type of request do you want to make?"
Periodical Use Statistics

Subject Guides
The liaison
Subject Guide for music resources is located at: http://www.westga.edu/~library/depts/liaison/music/. Please let me know
if you have any suggestions as to how these pages could be improved to better serve the needs
of your department and students.
Library Instruction
Library
instruction sessions are available to help introduce your students to Library resources and
basic research skills. Information regarding instruction sessions for 1000/2000 level classes
can be found at http://www.westga.edu/~library/depts/li/sessions/ (please note, this page
may not have been updated for the Fall semester). Instruction for 3000/4000 level courses may
be arranged by me directly at (678) 839-6363 or bkooy@westga.edu.
Additional information regarding the Library's Instruction Policy is available at http://www.westga.edu/~library/depts/li/policies.shtml.
Putting Materials on Reserve for Your
Classes
Please be aware of the following changes in our policies regarding
materials placed on Reserve for your classes:
- Reserve materials request forms must now be submitted electronically, using the
Library's online form. You can access it from the Library's homepage by clicking on Requests
in the yellow bar at the top of the page, or by using the following link:
http://www.westga.edu/~library/cgi-bin/libfrls1.cgi
Please note that this is a link to *all* the electronic request forms
for faculty, so you must use the drop-down menu to select Reserve Materials
under "What type of request do you want to make?"
If possible, please submit your request form prior to bringing in your materials.
However, if you wish, you can use the computers in the Library to submit the request at
the time you come with your items.
- A new request form must be submitted for each batch of items brought in,
even if you already have some materials on Reserve for that class. Your
compliance with this will help us to minimize processing errors.
-
Anything which can be put on electronic Reserves will be; there will no longer be
photocopied articles on Reserve in the building. Students really appreciate the convenience
of online, 24/7 access, and it makes items easily available to those who live far away from
Carrollton.
As ever, you need to allow us up to 3 business days to complete processing (although it
may take less); materials are processed in order of receipt. The earlier you get your
requests in, the better.
- Finally, if you haven't done so already, please review the new BOR Guidelines for
copyright adherence, "Regents Guide to the TEACH Act"
http://www.usg.edu/legal/copyright/teach_act.phtml
The Library will, of course, be following these guidelines in our handling of Reserves.
All questions regarding reserves should be directed to the Circulation
Department at 678.839.6502.
Library to launch new homepage August
15
The Library has redesigned its home page to make it easier for students
and faculty to locate important information and resources. Over the
past year the Library has conducted a series of usability studies to
gauge student and faculty impressions of both the old and new site.
We learned that users want a cleaner, less cluttered page; information
and links that are better organized; and terminology that makes sense
to the average user. The home page redesign is based on this research
as well as conversations with librarians and Library staff.
As always, I look forward to working with you during the course of the
year. If you would like to meet with me to discuss any of the above
items, or anything not mentioned (individually or as a department),
please do not hesitate to contact me.
