Faculty Resource 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.

 

Return Policy On Items Checked Out

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.
