For Faculty
Many faculty rely on the library to provide the necessary resources for their course curricula, student support, and research needs. By staying abreast of the advances in education and technology, we remain a responsive center for faculty instructional support. As faculty consider using AI in their classes, they may seek out the library to find resources and help.
