Services
The JKM Library staff are here to meet the research needs of McCormick and LSTC students, staff, and faculty. We provide and can help you to use:
- Extensive e-resources, including e-books, online journals, database articles, and many other online sources
- Millions of print books from JKM, nearly 100 I-Share libraries, or UChicago
- Scanning and delivery of book chapters and articles via both JKM and UChicago (within fair use provisions of copyright)
- And if the resources you need aren't already available, you can request that we purchase new e-resources (within the constraints of budget and availability).
To assist you in using our resources, reach out to our library staff (ihaveaquestion@jkmlibrary.org) for:
- Full-class instruction on how to conduct research
- A one-on-one session on how to use resources (for students, staff, or faculty!)
- Ideas for faculty professional development you'd like to see
- Practical tips on how to integrate research into your assignments seamlessly
- Assistance in avoiding plagiarism
- Citation conundrums (how do I cite a TikTok video? how do I cite AI? etc.)
While our staff is very small, we are especially willing to help both via email and over Zoom.
During the semester, library staff — with input from deans and faculty — will periodically review our services and policies and make appropriate adjustments accordingly.
