 Welcome to Kansas State. As a new faculty member at K-State, you have access to a wealth of resources to help you with your research and teaching. Here at K-State Libraries, we want you to know that our friendly, expert staff are here to help you and your students. The libraries have many resources to help you as a faculty member. One of the most important things we want you to know is that you have a specific subject librarian assigned to your department. Your librarian can help you create research assignments and can come to your class to talk about things like information literacy and using the library's resources for research. They can also connect you to resources like research guides, online lessons, publishing resources, and more. You can visit our Teaching Resources webpage to learn more about what services the library offers to help you with your classroom instruction. We specialize in teaching students basic through advanced research skills. We can also provide instruction for topics like systematic reviews, research using primary resources, and evidence-based research. As a faculty member, you also play an important role in getting your students connected with libraries' resources. The libraries are an integral part of academic success for K-State students, but students may not know about all of the resources they have available. Students tell us that when faculty members like you tell their students to use a specific library's resource like our peer research consultants or research guides, students take that advice seriously and are more likely to use the resource. So please, help your students connect with K-State Libraries too. We have found that two of our resources, Interlibrary Loan and Course Reserves, have been especially helpful to faculty and students. Through our fast and free Interlibrary Loan service, we can get you the resources you need. Interlibrary Loan lets us borrow almost anything from other libraries. We can get articles and book chapters as PDFs from other libraries in our own collection very quickly. Last spring, 65% of requests were filled in less than 24 hours. As an instructor at K-State, you can put course materials and textbooks on course reserves at any of our library locations. This lets students easily access those materials for free from a library help desk for a short and long period, saving them money. In addition to our services online and in person, we want you to know that the libraries are more than just one building. The libraries have five locations, including the Veterinary Medical Library, the Polytechnic Library, the Math Physics Library, the Paul Weigel Library of Architecture Planning and Design, and Hale Library, our main location. All of our spaces offer resources and provide tools and study spaces for your students. A new resource at K-State Libraries is the Sunderland Foundation Innovation Lab located on the first and second floors of Hale Library. This state-of-the-art facility offers all K-Staters the opportunity to use the latest innovative technologies. This includes video and sound production studios, 3D printers, makerspaces, and this liquid galaxy. We want to partner with you to incorporate the lab near teaching and research endeavors. We'd love for you to come visit, to take a tour, and to talk with our staff about how you might be able to use the Innovation Lab. The Center for the Advancement of Digital Scholarship leads the library's scholarly communication efforts. Our staff can help researchers navigate publishing opportunities, consult on copyright, discover how to create and support open access materials, and more. K-State Libraries is committed to the Advancement of Open Access initiatives. K-State Libraries has several programs and initiatives that provide grants to faculty for supporting open access. These include the Open Alternative Textbook Initiative, which provides grants up to $5,000 to K-State instructors to help them develop open educational resources, and the K-State Open Access Publishing Fund, which assists K-State authors by paying reasonable article processing charges for publishing in open access journals. Lastly, we want you to know that the Special Collections in University Archives can help enhance your research and teaching. We can integrate Special Collections materials into a wide array of classroom assignments. By using our materials, students can better contextualize the subjects they are studying, develop their analytical research skills, and evaluate primary resources. Be sure to check out our website at lib.k-state.edu for more information about our resources, locations, and upcoming events. You can also follow us at K-State Libraries on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok to keep up-to-date with library happenings. Welcome again to Kansas State University, and we hope to see you at the libraries soon.
