Center / Library
The TEAM
Center, located in
SB 1.01.02, houses a
Faculty Resource Center complete with an extensive collection
of books, videos, and journals available for faculty use.
Faculty may check out materials or may view them in the
comfort of the Center. A table and chairs are available for in-center use. The
Center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday. For a list of materials the Resource Center
currently has available, please click one of the category
links listed below. This list will be updated as new
items are incorporated into the Resource Center.
The Resource Center's
policy on the return of books, videos, and publications
checked out by faculty and staff is one semester
(approximately 3-1/2 months) from the date of check out.
Occasionally, it may be necessary to retain items for a
longer period of time. In that case, the books,
publications, and/or videos may again be checked out for the
following semester, but must be signed out once more at the
Resource Center.
