Bruce I. Howell Library (Southern Wake Campus): Faculty Resources

Wake Tech Libraries provide a variety of resources and services to support the faculty with their research and teaching needs, including books, library instruction, and research assistance.

Do your students have research to do but don't know where to start? The library can help!

We offer several different types of library instruction:

• Library Orientation. We can give your students a basic introduction to library resources or services. This is great for students who have never used the library before.
• Database Searching. If your students have research to do, we can show them how to access and search the research databases.
• Customized Instruction. We can customize our instruction to meet your class's specific needs. Just let us know what you want your students to learn, and we'll design a program just for them.

Schedule an appointment!

If you have any questions about library orientation or scheduling library instruction, please feel free to contact your Instruction Librarian, David Carter, directly.

Keep in mind research guides (opens in new window) can be created for individual classes or specific class assignments. If you feel a research guide would help your students with their assignments, please speak with David Carter for more information.

Do you have textbooks, DVDs, or other items you want to make available to your students? We can house them at the library!

Instructors must have a library account to place print items on reserve. An application is available at the circulation desk. A Wake Tech photo ID card is required.
