Let Your Subject Librarians Help You Prep for the Semester

Your department's subject librarian is available to help you with research assistance (for both you and your students), collection development needs, library instruction, and much more. Wondering how your subject librarian can assist your students with their research project? Needing a specific film or article for your course? Contact your subject librarian today with your questions--we are here to save you and your students time and to provide the resources you need.

Want to Record Video? Visit the One Button Studio

Thinking about adding some video content to your courses? The One Button Studio in the former Multimedia Production Studio in the Franklin D. Schurz Library is a digital video production room that requires no prior production experience. The studio is available for use by IU South Bend students, faculty, and staff, and is made possible by the  IU South Bend Center for Distance Education and  University Information Technology Services.
 
Use the studio to:
 
* Record a podcast
* Use green screen to create visual effects
* Rehearse speeches or other public presentations
* Create videos for instruction, student group promotion, or group projects
 
Reserve studio time at the kiosk in the library lobby or at:  http://libcal.iusb.edu/booking/mediaroom.

Library Instruction Comes in a Variety of Formats
 
Subject librarians are available to meet with your classes for a brief overview or a full class research session.

We have a wide variety of instruction possibilities, including (but not limited to): 

  • Audio Tours (available on MP3 players at the reference desk)
  • Course webpages with links to critical resources
  • Embedded librarian in Canvas
  • Tutorials
To schedule an instruction session, please complete the Library Instruction request form at https://www.iusb.edu/library/forms/libinstructionform.php selecting your subject librarian's name from the listing, or just e-mail your subject librarian directly. Not sure who your subject librarian is? Check here.

Subject Guides Provide Best Sources for Disciplines 
 
Each major has a corresponding library subject guide, where your subject librarian has linked to databases and additional resources related to your department's needs. Please check them out today and feel free to provide feedback on how we can tailor the guides to meet your students' needs.

There are also several guides that have been made specifically for courses. Interested in a guide for your course? Contact your subject librarian.
