Faculty Newsletter - Fall 2024

Kelvin Smith Library is a committed partner in providing resources and services that enhance instruction, research, and scholarship. Library staff meet in-person or virtually for consultations during any stage of the research and publishing lifecycle. Contact KSL for assistance in finding, organizing, analyzing, and visualizing research data, sharing your scholarship, assignment design, and customizable instruction sessions in a wide variety of disciplines. 

Each academic department from the Case School of Engineering, the College of Arts & Sciences, and the Weatherhead School of Management is assigned a Research and Engagement Librarian with background and expertise in the departments they serve. We look forward to working with you!

KSL maintains an Instruction Hub, a growing resource dedicated to enhancing student understanding of how to approach, evaluate, incorporate, and share research. Faculty can directly embed Canvas content on a variety of subjects, from how to access databases and how to check out a book, to more in-depth instruction on digital tools and primary sources via Special Collections. If you would like to suggest new content or schedule an instruction session with a librarian or digital scholarship partner, please fill out the Instruction Form. If you have further questions, contact your liaison librarian or KSLinstruction@case.edu.
 
Supplement your teaching with physical Course Reserves such as books, DVDs/Blu-ray discs, and CDs.
