Faculty Services
Explore library resources and services available to support your classroom instruction and student learning at FDLTCC.
Classroom Instruction
The librarian is available to provide instruction in your classroom tailored to the needs of your students. Classroom instruction is available as a single teaching session, or can span multiple sessions focused on a specific resource or research assignment. Classes can visit the library for tours or to have the library on hand during a workday. Video recordings can also be created for use in your online classes.
Available instruction topics include an overview of the academic research process, tips for effectively searching academic databases, demonstrations of specific databases, how to identify different types of sources, how to evaluate resources, and how to accurately format papers and cite sources using style guides such as MLA and APA.
Reference Services
The library provides reference services to faculty and students throughout the semester. Get in-person support during open hours, or by scheduling an appointment that works for your schedule. You can also get assistance through email, phone or a one-on-one Zoom session.
Course Reserves and Technology Rentals
Faculty can place library materials on reserve at the circulation desk for students to access. Having a copy of your current textbooks on reserve for students to checkout is helpful for students who are unable to purchase their textbooks due to financial aid issues. Most course reserves are set up for short term, in-library use. Faculty can set the loan period they feel is best for their students.
The library has a limited number of hotspots and laptops available student checkout. Hotspots and laptops check out for 1 month at a time and are renewable based on availability.
Course eBooks and Resource Requests
Faculty are encouraged to submit requests for resources they wanted added to the library’s physical and electronic collections. The librarian works with faculty to determine how best to fulfill the request either through purchase or interlibrary loan.
eBook titles may be available for purchase that can be accessed by your entire class for free! Contact the librarian to see if your required course texts are available as an eBook.
Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines
Have questions about copyright and fair use?
Use this guide
to help answer common questions including the basics of copyright law, how to determine fair use in the classroom, how using library resources helps follow copyright law, and how to show films for student clubs and campus events.
Open Education Resources (OER)
Looking for a new textbook or course materials? Open Education Resources (OER) are teaching, learning and research materials that are free to use for you and your students. OER can help faculty members personalize their teaching materials and save students money by reducing textbook costs.
The library can help identify OER available for your classes including open textbooks, library materials such as scholarly journal articles, news articles or streaming media, and ancillary materials.
Research Guides
Creating a
Research Guide
for your class is a great way to give your students access to high quality, curated resources available through the library.
Schedule a meeting with the librarian to review your course needs. We can create a list of databases, eBooks, scholarly journals, search tips and other resources that are available to your students 24/7.
Interlibrary Loan
Looking for something we don’t currently have in the collection? Interlibrary loan services are available which allow faculty to borrow items from other libraries across the state.
Requesting Physical items
After searching the
library catalog
, switch the drop down menu to “All MnPals libraries” and complete your search.
Browse the results, and click “check for available resources” for any items you would like to request.
After logging in with your StarID and password, you can submit a resource sharing request. Your items will be mailed to the library if a lender is avalable and we will notify you when they are ready for checkout.
Requesting Articles

EBSCO Academic Search Premier

Interlibrary Loan form

Testimonials
It is awesome here at the FDLTCC Education Program because it is like a family here, if you need help or are struggling with anything, you have quite a few people who will help you out.
I chose FDLTCC because of its size and the curriculum. When I first came here in 2019, I was just looking for what I needed to volunteer, perhaps in a crisis shelter. I met with Don Jarvinen, and the rest is history.
My favorite thing about FDLTCC is the people. I’ve met fantastic students, faculty and staff who go above and beyond what I expected.
