Library Manager Kathy Bolling is available to provide in-class training relating to search tools and strategies, both face to face and on Collaborate for your students. We are happy to tailor these presentations to the needs of your course.  Contact Kathy at 228-4517 or at kjbolling3@alaska.edu.

Database orientations related to specific assignments tend to provide the best opportunities for students to learn to navigate the obstacles that tend to overwhelm them and bog down their search efforts.  Additional topics might include peer-reviewed sources, a bibliographic citation manager such as Zotero, why the use of  university databases is most useful for university work, which databases are most appropriate for your course, and how to select and evaluate websites.

Email a Request for Library Orientation

Students and faculty can request one on one research assistance from our library staff. We will respond to each request in order to clarify details and determine how much time will be needed to address the specific need. Please contact one of us, by email, or by phone.  (See contact information on the left side of the screen.) 

Interlibrary Loan is designed to provide materials that are not available in the Ketchikan Campus Library collection or from other First City Libraries.

Upon receipt of a request, we will identify other libraries that own the items needed, ask to borrow them, and then notify borrowers when they are available.  Interlibrary loan services are free to all faculty members and students, unless the loaning library charges the Campus Library. 

If you'd like to suggest a book or other item in your area of expertise for purchase for the Campus Library collections, which will benefit your students, please email us.  Your input is greatly appreciated!

Use one of the computer workstations in the Campus Library or in the computer lab in the Paul Building. You can also bring in your own laptop and connect to the Internet wirelessly in any UAS Ketchikan building.  Use your UAS username and password to connect.  There is no charge to adjuncts for printing or making photocopies.

If you found this guide useful, here's a link to all of the Research Guides created by UAS librarians so that you can check them out!  Some are course related, and some are topic related, like citation styles, beginning and advanced researcher tools, ebooks at UAS Libraries, etc.  If you'd like a librarian to create a Research Guide for your class, contact Kathleen Wiechelman.
