OneSearch
OneSearch is a discovery tool that allows library users to search the library's many resources from a single search box. OneSearch is the default search option on the library home page at library.campbell.edu.
OneSearch indexes the library's catalog of books and eBooks, the vast majority of
full-text journal articles and other eResources, and the library's media collection.
As users search in OneSearch, they can narrow results by using facets such as subject,
date, material type, and peer-review status. For many research needs, OneSearch is the
most efficient way to locate large numbers of books and articles. Please note that
most of the library's abstract-only products (PubMed, ATLA, etc.) are not indexed in
OneSearch, but can be accessed from the Databases tab on the library home page.
Library instruction sessions in many courses focus on the use of OneSearch as a
retrieval tool.
Each student, staff member, and faculty member has a library account. To access your
library account, click on the “My Account” quick link at
https://library.campbell.edu and sign in
with your Campbell network username and password. By logging in to your library
account, you can see what items you currently have checked out, renew your materials,
put holds on checked-out items, request items for pick-up at the Library Services Desk
or mailing, and save search results.
Laptop Computers and Other Technology Items
Laptop computers and a number of other technology items are available to be checked
out from the Library Services Desk on the main floor or the Curriculum Materials/Media Center on the 3rd floor. These items include Chromebooks, calculators, computer mice, GPS units, digital cameras, flip video cameras, etc. To find out the location of these items, their loan periods, and availability, visit https://guides.lib.campbell.edu/tech.
Photocopies
There are five photocopiers in the library. Two are located in the Learning Commons,
one is in the Periodicals Reading Room, one is outside of the second-floor conference
room, and one is outside of the third-floor computer lab.
Creek Bucks are preferred for printing and photocopying. If you have any problems with the copiers, please ask for assistance at the Library Services Desk. Grayscale photocopies cost
$0.05 per page (each side); color photocopies cost $0.15 per page (each side). If you send a student to make copies to be charged to your department, send the student with a signed authorization note that includes the budget code to be charged.
A microform reader/printer is located in Wiggins Basement. The microforms collection includes back issues of certain academic journals and newspapers. Please see Access Services Librarian Marie Berry for assistance.
Library Facilities for Faculty Use
While faculty have access to the entire library and its resources, there are three rooms that might be of particular interest.
Teaching Resource Center - Wiggins Room 301
The mission of the Teaching Resource Center at Campbell University is to facilitate programming
that supports and fosters teaching excellence for Campbell faculty at all levels and in all
programs, in keeping with Campbell University's 2016 Strategic Plan initiative 1.5 and the University's mission 9.
The center supports faculty with teaching and learning pedagogical best practices through:
Circulating print and eResource collections
Offering a faculty-led workshop series
Facilitating campus conversations and collaborations, such as book clubs
A flexible, technologically equipped learning environment
Faculty Study - Wiggins Room 311
The library provides a limited number of carrels in a Faculty Study on the third floor of Wiggins Hall to
facilitate faculty research and publication projects. Assignment is on a first come, first served basis.
The duration of assignment is based on faculty need and demand. For future reservations:
https://library.campbell.edu/faculty/faculty-study-request/ or,
for questions, contact a reference librarian at ext. 1467 or at reference@campbell.edu.
Conference Room- Wiggins Room 224
The Wiggins Library Conference Room is available for use by Campbell University student organizations, faculty, and staff. The room has a seating capacity of 16, and is equipped with two LCD monitors, video conferencing, wireless presentation capability, and a dry erase board.
Faculty may reserve the Conference Room at any time during the semester. The room may be reserved five times per semester per class.
Reservations are accepted well in advance, but should be made at least 12 hours before the room is to be used. Reservations are on a first come, first served basis.
Library Webpage for Faculty
To facilitate faculty use of library resources and services, a Library Resources for Faculty page (library.campbell.edu/faculty) is available on the library website as well as under the Library tab on Campbell’s Blackboard site. The webpage includes information about:
University Archives and Rare Books are located in the Carrie Rich Building. The material is historical concerning Campbell with some genealogical material from the surrounding area. University Archives are available to any faculty member to view in the library, upon request. Please contact Access Services Librarian Marie Berry (berrym@campbell.edu) if you would like to access the collection.
All departments and faculty members are asked to send to the library any written
materials such as books, brochures, articles, etc., published by the
department or individual to be included in the Archives. These materials are kept
in individual folders under the name of the person or department. Occasionally,
selected items also may be cataloged and added to our circulating collection.
Campbell Digital Archives
A rich variety of digitally archived collections are available at
https://library.campbell.edu/digital-archives/. These
include historical campus publications such as Campbell Prospect,
Campbell Times,
and Creek Pebbles; the papers of James
Archibald Campbell, Leslie Hartwell Campbell,
and Jerry M. Wallace; and a treasure trove of photographs and oral histories.
New Archival Reading Room
During the Fall 2024 semester, the Library will debut its new Archival Reading Room w
ithin the 3rd-floor CMMC. Made possible through the generosity of our Friends of the
Library, this new addition will enhance faculty ability to lead instruction activities
for archivally focused coursework in a dedicated space where students can gather around
documents and engage in small group activities. It also will serve to better support
faculty members researching archival material for publication.
Circulation and Reserve Services
Borrowing
Library materials may be checked out at the Library Services Desk near the entrance to the library. Additional request options such as holds and chapter scanning (including commentary sections) are available in OneSearch for print materials using the “Request Options from Wiggins Library” link in the item record.
Faculty may check out most library materials for six months. Materials checked out
June-November will be due the first week in January; materials checked out December-May
will be due the first week in July. Please bring your faculty ID with you when checking
out materials. If you wish to send someone else to check out materials on your behalf,
please call Library Services (ext. 2462) and ask to speak to a staff member ahead of time.
Each faculty member is responsible for all library materials checked out in his/her name.
Faculty and staff members will receive overdue notices but will not be charged fines
for items not returned by the date due. Faculty and staff must, however, pay the
replacement price and a $10 processing fee for any materials that are lost or
returned seriously damaged.
Holds
Faculty may place a hold on items at the Library Services Desk or by logging in through the OneSearch item record at https://library.campbell.edu and using the “Request Item” link. If a book is already checked out when the request is made, the item is not recalled but will be held for the requester when it is returned to the library; the requester will receive an email when it is available. Items will be held for the requestor for five days; if not picked up after five days they will be returned to the stacks.
Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan
Wiggins Memorial Library provides faculty with deliveries of Campbell library materials
and interlibrary loans through a single service: ILLiad, the online interlibrary loan
and document delivery management system. Use this service, provided free of charge, to
request campus or electronic delivery of both types of materials. Nore information can
be found in the Document Delivery section of
library.campbell.edu/faculty/document-delivery.
Faculty may place course readings or other materials on reserve at the Library Services Desk for their students to check out for limited periods. To place items on reserve, please fill out a Reserve Request form online (library.campbell.edu/forms/reserve-request) or use the printed form provided at the Library Services Desk. Physical materials placed on print reserve may be owned by Campbell University Libraries or personal copies owned by the faculty.
General Guidelines Governing Print Reserves
Faculty can fill in a Reserve Request Form to request that physical materials owned by Campbell University Libraries be put on reserve. The library reserves the right to deny the request if the requested materials or the use of the materials on reserve violates other library policies.
Faculty may put their personally owned copy of physical material on reserve. Personal copies will be labeled and barcoded before they are put on reserve. These will be returned to faculty after the end of the semester, or at the request of the faculty.
Faculty may request to have their reserved materials removed or suspended from Reserves at any time during the semester by notifying the library.
Reserved materials are removed from Reserves at the end of the semester.
The library will NOT provide private reserves checkout information to faculty. Faculty may request general circulation statistics from the library.
For more information about Reserves, email reserve@campbell.edu or contact the library Circulation Manager Cindy Adams at ext. 5563.
Electronic Reserves
Items may also be placed on electronic reserve. A print copy of materials selected for eReserves will also be available at the Library Services Desk.
The policy governing electronic reserves is based on the provisions of fair use as outlined in the United States Copyright Act of 1976. Section 107 of the Act permits the making of multiple copies for classroom use by considering the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the work as a whole, and the effect of such use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. Electronic reserves are merely an extension of fair use practices under which faculty members have traditionally made materials available to students.
The guidelines for electronic reserves:
All materials placed on electronic reserves will be at the initiation of faculty for non-commercial, educational use by students.
Whenever possible, materials to be copied or scanned for E-Reserves will be purchased by the library.
Items which are available elsewhere on library databases (electronic or CD) are not candidates for electronic reserves. Such material should not be duplicated.
Complete or longer works, such as books, will not be copied for electronic reserves.
The library will not place materials on electronic reserves without permission if the nature, scope, or extent of the copying is judged by the library to exceed the reasonable limits of fair use.
The library will not place on electronic reserves materials that were used in the immediate previous semester for the same course and same instructor. Print reserves may be arranged instead.
The total amount of material included in electronic reserves for a specific course as a matter of fair use should be a small proportion of the total assigned reading for a particular course.
Copyright notice will appear on the screen in the electronic reserves system and on copies of reserve readings to indicate that materials may be covered by copyright law. Appropriate citations or attributions to sources will be included for electronic files.
Access will be limited to authenticated Campbell University users for each course, andinstructors will provide students in the class a username and password they will useto access the eReserve.
Authenticated users may make one copy of an item for study, research, or other educational purposes. No further transmission of any electronic reserve material is permitted.
Electronic files will be removed from the electronic reserves system at the end of each term or upon the conclusion of the course.
NOTICE: The copyright law of the United States (Title 17 U.S. Code) governs the making of photocopies of copyrighted materials. The person using this system is liable for any infringement.
To place items on eReserve, click on Faculty Course Reserve Request at
library.campbell.edu/reserves/. For questions, call Technical Services at ext. 1469.
Library staff will abide by all the rules and regulations related to copyright restrictions.
Research Assistance Services
Library Liaisons
The Campbell University Libraries Liaison Program is designed to facilitate communication with academic departments and programs in order to enhance collection development, to encourage collaborative activities concerning information literacy, and to provide supportive services for research and teaching as well as library services overall.
Here is a list of some of the ways that a librarian liaison can help you.
Serve as an initial contact for library questions or problems
Facilitate acquisitions and collection development
Share information about library services and resources
Schedule a library instruction session for your class
Attend departmental meetings to announce changes in library services and resources
Suggest possible library purchases, whether books, journals, databases, DVDs, or other formats
Orient new faculty to library resources and services
Acknowledging that information literacy should be integrated into the curriculum, library instructors work with faculty to teach research skills to students in the context of their courses using a common language. This language is explained in the library’s Information Fluency Plan (library.campbell.edu/information-fluency) and includes six frames of understanding that will guide students to find, interpret, and produce information that is valued in academia:
Authority is Constructed and Contextual
Information Has Value
Scholarship as Conversation
Information Creation as Process
Research as Inquiry
Searching as Strategic Exploration
Librarians and teaching faculty will challenge students to expand their disciplinary understanding through research, and to manage their findings effectively. In addition, students are encouraged to think critically about what they have learned in order to contribute to the scholarly conversation.
Librarians and teaching faculty will challenge students to expand their disciplinary understanding through research, and to manage their findings effectively. In addition, students are encouraged to think critically about what they have learned in order to contribute to the scholarly conversation.
Ultimately, information literacy skills gained in the academic setting will translate into information fluency for lifelong learning.
Library instructors realize that students have various learning styles, so instruction is offered in a variety of formats. Information literacy instruction may take the form of a classroom lecture (in-person or virtually), group work, a printed handout for students, a presentation, an interactive online tutorial, an online research guide, or one-on-one work with students.
The success of Campbell's Information Fluency Plan is based upon our understanding of the curriculum and course objectives. For this reason, we prefer to collaborate with instructors and consult their syllabi when designing instruction sessions.
The Information Fluency Plan is designed to accomplish the following goals:
To provide core information literacy instruction to students taking CUFS 100 (and other First-Year Experience courses), ENGL 100, ENGL 101, and/or ENGL 102 within their first year on campus.
To provide course-integrated instruction at the milestone, capstone, and graduate levels in collaboration with faculty and in alignment with course objectives.
To provide students enrolled in the Adult & Online Education program with the equivalent library instruction that their on-campus peers receive.
To provide library orientation and departmental liaison assistance to faculty.
To provide outreach to students by offering opportunities such as workshops, seminars, lectures, and poetry readings.
Find your instructional liaison librarian on the Partner with a Librarian page:
(https://library.campbell.edu/information-fluency/liaison-listing/).
where you can make an appointment to request an Instruction Session or contact your
librarian directly for partnership opportunities. Please request instruction at
least one week in advance to allow enough time for the librarian to prepare.
