Your Instructional Manager will assure that audio/visual materials are available when you desire them.  Call on him/her to schedule all audio/visual support needs.  Please give enough lead-time to assure successful coordination with the GHC Library Media Center.

 

Library Services

 

The staff of the John Spellman Library, Grays Harbor College's Library/Media Center, sincerely wishes to assist the college's faculty and staff with their informational and instructional-support needs.  They hope that the college's personnel will come to the Library to tour the facilities.  They also welcome the opportunity to conduct tours for classes, emphasizing appropriate materials and simple research technique.

 

Library (print) materials and services are available on the main upper level of the Library/Media Center.

 

Books

 

Faculty and staff may check out books for a three-month period; at the end of spring quarter all materials are to be returned.  Recently acquired books are on display near the entrance to the main floor.

 

Reserved Materials

 

Instructors or managers may place materials on reserve at the main circulation desk.  The instructor determines whether print materials are for ‘in library use only’ and for what period they may be checked out.

 

The library staff appreciates having advance notice if instructors plan on giving their students supplementary reading, video services or reserves, in the event that materials that are not in the library’s collection can be obtained.

 

Audio Visual Equipment and Software

 

Library/Media Services has primary responsibility for audio/visual programs and equipment.  Your instructional manager's staff is at your service to help schedule the audio/visual aids and materials you may need to support your classroom effort.  Please give the instructional manager's staff a schedule of standing equipment needs before the quarter begins for continuing equipment needs.  Please give the instructional manager’s staff a week’s notice for other equipment needs.  This will assure the library enough time to meet your request.  Custodians will return all equipment to its proper place.  V

 

College-owned AV programs (films, videocassette - other than those which instructors place on reserve for student viewing in the Library/Media Center - film strips, slides, kits, etc.) are checked out to both students and faculty.  On the main (upper) level, there are several rooms for viewing of videocassettes as well as TV/VCR’s in study carrels.

 

Catalogs of college-owned software and a card catalog of software are located in the Media Center.  In addition, catalogs for interlibrary loans of available materials are housed for your use in the Library.  The online catalog and electronic databases are available on the Library’s Web Page.  Work with your instructional manager's staff to acquire any necessary materials.

 

The library can also videotape many TV programs for educational use.  Work with your instructional staff to request this service.

 

The Library staff is available to help you learn to operate any piece of AV equipment.  Please contact the Library to arrange a time convenient for you.

 

Computers

 

The Library has IBM compatible computers available for student and faculty use.  Software may be placed on reserve in the Library.

 

 

Instructional Supplies and Materials

 

Please work with the staff in your instructional manager's office to acquire needed materials and supplies to support your instructional effort.  Because of cumbersome regulations concerning the acquisition of materials, the more lead time available, the better.  Please discuss your needs at your earliest convenience.  The library staff wants to help support your instructional effort.  Please call them to discuss Web based resources.  They welcome suggestions about needed instructional media.
