Instructional - Guide to the Library for Southwest Students: Library Instruction

Whether you were able to join the Research for Writing workshop in early September or you had to miss it, you can access notes and presentation slides here.

Southwest students may email the librarians at library@ssw.edu for the quickest response. That email address is a distribution list that sends the user’s email to the full time librarians and the person on duty will respond.

Help yourself to instructional videos available on the library website anytime, day or night. Topics include performing basic Seeker searches, requesting items by interlibrary loan (ILL), accessing e-resources from off campus, and much more. 

Any student may request a one-on-one instructional online session with Duane Carter. Please use this form to request an appointment.

All of the following LibGuides have been created to teach our students how to find and use library resources:

Instructional - Accessing e-Resources

Instructional - E-nnouncement

Instructional - Guide to Austin Libraries

Instructional - Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Services

Instructional - Mango Languages

The Electronic Resources Librarian visits the classroom to make presentations upon request of the professor. To date he has made appearances (in person and virtually) in courses for every degree program and has been a regular guest of Professors Baker, Bishop, Colombo, Jangha, McClure, St. David, and many other members of the Southwest faculty. Professors may reach out directly to library@ssw.edu to schedule an instructional visit from the library staff.
