Graduate Faculty Reception
On May 3rd, 2016 the Cannon Memorial Library hosted a Graduate Faculty Reception to help faculty know what all the library could offer. Some faculty have their students use the library but never thought about how it could be used in their own research.
The library is here for all the students, faculty, and staff of Saint Leo. Please come make use of it! Available online and in person!
We also hoped that through the reception we could find out what the graduate programs needed as far as resources and perhaps what we had on the shelves that are long out dated and shouldn’t be there anymore.
Are you a Graduate Faculty member who didn’t get to make it to our reception? Stop by the library and we’ll be happy to chat with you! Please see Robert Fernandez, Janet Franks, or Michelle Joy.
No matter who you are, if there is some resource you think the library needs, let us know! We can’t get everything, but we’d rather get things we know people will use for their research than things that will just stay on the shelves.
Please contact us if you have any questions!

New Tab! Faculty Instructional Resources
Look on the library home page and you'll see some NEW tabs!
Today we're going to be focusing on the Faculty Instructional Resources tab
Right on the main page is a tutorial video on how to use the databases. The more faculty know how to utilize the databases, the more instruction they can give to students on how to use them.
If you use the Faculty Syllabus and Library Information button you will see a Master Syllabus as well as information about the various libraries and the librarians who work there. Don't be afraid to reach out with questions, suggestions, or comments!
The QEP and Information Literacy button will take you to information about the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards wiki. This aids you in understanding what the library will do for you and your students in regards to information literacy and may provide you with ideas on how you can incorporate it more in your teaching.
Writing Across the Curriculum is a podcast series provided by Dr. Candace Roberts and can be listened to on Windows Media Player after you click on the Writing Across the Curriculum button.
The Open Educational Resources tab will give you information on just that--all of the freely accessible resources available to you and your students. Check that list out! Share it with your students!
Lastly we have the iTeach on demand library instruction button that is not currently working but I will update this blog when it is! Do you have any questions about these resources? Any suggestions for what should be added? Let us know!

However, this does not mean you have no chatting functions available to you! Ask-A-Librarian is available almost every single day of the year!

There is a phone app for both apple and android devices as well as the web capabilities.
What can you do with Ask-A-Librarian? You can email, chat, or text a librarian in the state of Florida that is able to answer questions as if they worked here. These can be research questions or something as simple as when is the library open. If you want to email a librarian that works here at Saint Leo, you can fill in this form and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Morning chat may be going away
Back in February we launched a morning chat that allows you to chat with a librarian from 8am-10am Monday-Thursday.
No one has used it at all. Therefore, this will be the last week Morning Chat will be around unless people start using it.
Check it out here: http://saintleo.libanswers.com/home.php
Save the morning chat!!
