Faculty DVD Collection moves to PLC

Faculty DVD Collection moves to PLC

In ongoing efforts to improve service and access to the library’s collections, the Faculty DVD Collection that has historically been located in closed stacks will now be available to all library patrons and will be located in the Reserves Room on the second floor of the PLC. DVDs may be placed on course reserve for the semester, or may be checked out by library patrons for a period of three days. These materials are now available for browsing and checkout any time the PLC Info Desk is staffed. Faculty: For any questions regarding this change please contact any member of the library staff.

Faculty Purchase Requests

Faculty Purchase Requests

Library Services is now accepting requests and recommendations for library material purchases by faculty for the library collection. To request a title for purchase click on the Faculty Material Purchase Request Form under Library Forms. As a reminder, Library Services purchases supplemental and recommended texts but does not purchase textbooks or required texts for course curriculum. Those materials should be requested through the College Bookstore.

Jewell College Archives

Jewell College Archives

Researchers have been utilizing our collection of historic William Jewell College yearbooks and other memorabilia to fulfill a variety of information needs. Some students use our records to learn more about the activities of their parents or grandparents. Others look for photos and stories about those in our community and from William Jewell who have served in WWI. Alumni use our collection to get a glimpse of homecomings and student organizations of years past. Students, alumni, and community members are welcome to visit the archives during our new walk-in hours, from 2:30-4:30 on Tuesdays through Fridays. Email Abi Broadbent at broadbenta@william.jewell.edu for questions or to schedule an appointment.
