63 Electronic Reserves Electronic reserves are currently available at http://guides.library.fairmontstate.edu/er.php. Acquisition of Materials It is important for each faculty member to contribute to the building of the collections of the Fairmont State University Libraries. Since the primary mission of the libraries is to support the curriculum, students expect to find materials relating to the courses that they are taking. Faculty are encouraged to make recommendations for additions to the collections, whether the material is in print (books), electronic, or in a multimedia format, such as videos. Recommendations may be made through the Library Committee representative of each school or directly to the Library Director. Requests may be made by email to thelma.hutchins@fairmontstate.edu, or by submitting brochures from publishers. Faculty should indicate priority: essential, important addition, or nice to have. Several thousand videos and hundreds of CDs are located in the main library and are available to faculty and students. The library also provides access to a video database, Films on Demand, which contains thousands of educational videos. This database allows the user to select only appropriate segments of videos, and provides the ability to capture the URL of that segment, or the entire video, to be embedded in Blackboard, LibGuides, etc. The Circulation staff members will be happy to deliver any materials to faculty in their offices on the main campus. The West Virginia Deli (WVDELI) provides downloadable e-audiobooks, e-books, videos and music. A shared collection from local public libraries and Fairmont State University enhance the offerings and provide a wide range of materials downloadable to over sixty devices, including the iPod. Library Hours Library hours vary, depending upon the library location and whether classes are in session. They are always posted on the library’s web pages and the doors of each of the libraries. For the main campus, library hours during fall and spring semesters will be: Sunday Monday-Thursday Friday Saturday 2:00 p.m.—2:00 a.m. 7:00 a.m.—2:00 a.m. 7:00 a.m.—Midnight 7:30 a.m.—5:30 p.m. Exceptions to this schedule will be posted. Summer hours are adjusted to the sessions and to faculty/student needs and will be posted before summer school begins. Circulation of Materials Faculty members need to have a current and valid ID card in order to check materials out of the libraries. Print materials may be used for one semester, but are subject to recall if needed by another faculty member or student. Reference materials may circulate for seven (7) days. Videos and CDs circulate for seven (7) days. UCA Accounts Library staff members will assist faculty, staff, and students who are having problems with UCA accounts, including training and activating the UCAs.
PHYSICAL PLANT SERVICES Facilities: The Facilities Department strives to maintain and improve facilities, grounds, and immediate environment. The department works toward this goal by supplying the appropriate services to the community in the most efficient and economical manner. The Facilities Department promotes a safe, clean, aesthetically pleasing campus environment. 64 The Facilities Department’s mission and functions relate to service support for the entire institution. Because of its diverse responsibilities, the Facilities Department establishes and maintains working relationships and communication with virtually all departments. Its organization is unique within the institution, because it operates outside of the institution’s teaching, research and public service roles. Decision-making authority exists at each level of the department, from the Assistant Vice President for Facilities to individual tradesman. All Facilities Department employees work together to achieve unity of effort and consistency in policies and procedures.
