Librarian Liaisons

Each Instructional Services Librarian is a liaison to several UIS academic departments. This encompasses working with the departmental faculty to develop the library collection, teaching instructional workshops, providing individual consultations with students, and in general being the program's contact person in the library.

Instructional Workshops

Instructional workshops are conducted for classes or groups upon request. These workshops are designed to assist participants in identifying and evaluating materials and to develop search strategies for a particular subject area. Instructors or students wishing to arrange a workshop should call 206-6633 or contact the library liaison for their department.

Services for Persons with Disabilities

The library is sensitive to the needs of persons with disabilities and has assistive services and facilities available for their use. Upon request, a library staff member can remove books or periodicals from shelves, assist with photocopying, and retrieve and read microforms.

Educational Technology provides a variety of assistive technologies. There is a large screen computer which can be adjusted to display large print or provide sound. Contact Educational Technology at 217-206-6550 for further assistance or information. A wheelchair accessible photocopier is available on Level 2.
