As the subject librarian for the Department of English Language & Literature, I can:

• Work with you to develop assignments that require scholarly or non-scholarly sources and determine which resources best fit the objectives of the assignment
• Create a course page with discipline-specific resources tailored to your class assignments (see the Class Guides tab above for an example)
• Embed resources into your course site
• Visit your class or reserve the library's classrooms to help students find and use information sources
• Help you identify open educational resources or order materials to support your courses.

Please let me know if you would like the library to add a book, eBook, DVD, journal, or other item to the library's collection.
