Carmichael Library
How Do I...
Guide for New Faculty
Carmichael Library is committed to the goal of
increasing the information literacy of the
students attending the University. Information
Literacy is the foundation for lifelong
learning, and it extends across the curriculum
to touch every discipline.
Library faculty
efforts are directed toward teaching the
Montevallo community how to approach the wide
array of resources available to them; teaching
both information concepts and use of specific
resources. The Library's EBSCO Electronic
classroom has 25 computers and provides a
hands-on environment. Typically
instruction occurs in the EBSCO classroom but
the librarian can come to your classroom or via
distance education upon request.
Contact Andrew Battista or Kathy Lowe for more information about scheduling a class, or use our online request form.

Faculty ordering process for
library material
Each department Chair designates a faculty
member to act as a liaison with the library to
coordinate departmental allocations.
Contact your department Chair for specific
information.
Faculty are encouraged to
request library
materials needed to support the university
curriculum. The librarians work with
faculty to identify appropriate material, inform
faculty and departments of their allocations,
and review along with the Director and the

periodicals.
