Schedule Library Instruction Session
The University Library provides library and information literacy instruction sessions for students to better acquaint them with library resources and to demonstrate best practices for finding sources of information. These can be given face-to-face or online. You may also embed or include a librarian on a discussion board within your course shell in the role of "librarian" to work with your students at their point of need. For more information about library instruction or embedded librarianship, contact Harvey Castellano, Associate Library Director for Research, Instruction & Access Services.

Request New Library Resources
Disclaimer: All requests for new Library resources will be reviewed and prioritized according to the UTEP Library’s Collection Development Policies. New acquisitions are determined by the amount of funds allotted for each subject discipline within the scope of the Library's budget.

Lead-time for the ordering and processing of new Library resources:

Foreign publications and books older than five years should be requested by January 15th of each calendar year.

Non-book resources such as journals, databases, and videos should be requested at least 6-12 weeks in advance of when they will be needed. Some of these formats, such as databases and journals, require more extensive review (in terms of the Library's budget); others, such as videos, require more lead-time to acquire, especially if they are not readily available from the Library’s standard providers.

For streaming video requests, allow sufficient lead-time for the Library to source, negotiate, and license the digital streaming rights, if available. This process can take from six months to one year. Extra lead-time will be needed for re-formatting or for the addition of ADA-compliant accessibility enhancements such as transcripts or closed-captioning. Refer to the Library's Visual Materials Acquisition Policies for details.

Publications in stock with the Library’s major book vendors can usually be ordered up until May 15th of each calendar year.

For questions, contact Kathy Poorman, Assistant Library Director for Technical Services.

Reminders:

Textbooks and other course materials should be ordered through the UTEP Bookstore.

Course Packs may be ordered via the UTEP Print/Copy/Mail Solutions.

To request individual journal articles, books, book chapters, or other publications for educational, research, and/or personal use, use the UTEP Library’s Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Service.

Request Library Research Guide (LibGuide)
The Library creates customized online Research Guides (a/k/a "LibGuides") for UTEP courses, upon request.

Examples of Research Guides created for UTEP Courses include:

Nursing Informatics: NURS 4303

UNIV 1301: Creative Writing and the University

MSSE 5344: Systems Engineering

Check Course Resource or Film List or Set Up Reserves
UTEP Course Resource List Checking Service: This free, optional service is provided by the University Library whereby UTEP Course Resource Lists (including films) submitted by instructors or on-campus service providers (e.g.: UTEP course designers, UTEP Print/Copy/Mail Solutions) are checked against the Library’s holdings to determine which items, if any, are already available and ready for use in support of the course at no additional charge to either the students or the faculty.

This service also helps to determine where each resource falls within the University of Texas System’s “Web of Rights” used to manage the risk of copyright infringement. The “Web of Rights” authority sources are as follows: 1) Library licenses negotiated for access to e-resources; 2) UT System’s Annual License with the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC); 3) Open-Access publishing and CreativeCommons licensed materials; 4) Fair use provision for certain educational uses under U.S. copyright law; and 5) Works in the public domain (e.g.: federal government documents).

For commercial course packs, the University Library performs this service on behalf of UTEP Print/Copy/Mail Solutions.
