This year, our librarians hit the road, bringing valuable library resources directly to faculty and students across campus. We set up table displays in the Fine Arts Building, Lloyd P. Respass Trades Building, A.D. Guy Business Technology Building, and the W.D. "Billy" Mills Math and Science Technology Building, sharing curated materials and research tools tailored to each department.

At our most recent stop, we showcased resources supporting the Math curriculum, including access to Statista, ABI/Inform, Data Axle, Social Explorer, and Statistical Abstracts of the United States—along with other engaging math-related tools. Our goal is to connect faculty and students with library materials that enhance coursework, research, and creative exploration.

Looking for books to use in your courses, research, or personal reading? The library has a cart of free books available for faculty. These books have been removed from our collection and are free to take—no checkout required.

The library is seeking faculty recommendations for book purchases to enhance our general collection. We invite you to suggest titles within your subject areas that will support students academically and contribute to their success. Additionally, we welcome recommendations that align with your own professional development needs.

Your input ensures our collection remains relevant and valuable to both students and faculty. If there are key texts, emerging works, or foundational materials you believe should be available, please send your suggestions by March 21.
