We recommend that you notify Swem's Reference Desk (221-3067 or sweref@wm.edu) before giving your class a library assignment. Please see our Library Assignment Recommendations.
Librarians at Swem can assist you in identifying printed, electronic, or web resources for use by individual classes. For example, your library liaison can help you:
- create a bibliography for your students of materials owned by Swem or available online
- find electronic resources to link to your course web page or electronic reserve page
- In addition, Swem's Reserves staff and staff at W&M departmental libraries can help you place course reserve materials on regular reserve or electronic reserve.
Swem's Special Collections librarians can:
- recommend primary source or rare book materials to enhance course readings
- help design class projects involving primary source research in Special Collections
You can reach Special Collections at 253-4841 or spcoll@wm.edu.
