Your Liaison
Each RIT college has a Reference Librarian serving as liaison. The Reference Librarian for your college is your first contact for instruction and research related consultation and assistance. How we can help:
- Assist faculty with course development and preparation
of course assignments requiring library materials and research
skills.
- Provide tailored learning sessions to meet the needs of your
classes. We offer course specific learning sessions, library skills
classes, demos of online databases, hands-on training and more.

Course Reserves
The library's course reserves provide students a central place to access supplemental
course materials we can provide your materials to students in two
formats: traditional (print) and online (password-protected delivered
via the Internet). Contact Infomation Delivery Services at 475-2560 or click here for more information.
Linking to Full Text Journal Articles
and eBook Chapters from Syllabi and Course Pages
Many databases provide reliable links to online full-text articles
and book chapters. This means someone can click on the URL provided
on a syllabus, email, webpage, or myCourses, and read the document
without having to search the database or e-journal themselves. A
stable URL (also called a persistent link or a durable link), allows
this direct linking to full-text articles. Click
here for linking instructions.
