During the Library closure due to Covid-19, some of the Library practices have been necessarily changed. Visit the EVC Library Online Support Guide for updated services and resources.

Reserves

Reserves eTextbooks are available for free to students for a limited time only until the end of the spring semester (May 25, 2020). eTextbooks providers are Vital Source and Red Shelf. See library videos and guides on setting up a campus email address and finding eTextbooks on provider sites.  

When the library reopens, you may place items on reserve for your class by bringing the materials to the Library Circulation desk and completing a Course Reserve Form for each course. You can also print and fill out this Reserve materials form and bring it to the library with materials you wish to have placed on Reserve. You may choose a 2 hour, 1 day, or 3 day loan period for each item.

Instructional Sessions 

The Library is conducting orientation sessions synchronously via Zoom or asynchronously by creating a video and sending you links to LibGuides and other valuable resources. Please send an email to librarian@evc.edu and you will get a response to proceed. Complete this Instructional Session form for more complete information and send completed form to the Librarian. Instructors are expected to attend classes with their students and the Librarian can allow co-hosting with your agreement.

When the library reopens, to arrange a Library instructional session (orientation) for your class, call the reference desk at x6661 or come into the library. A librarian will schedule the visit and discuss any details of the current assignment. Please make arrangements at least one week in advance. You may also schedule an instructional session by sending an email to librarian@evc.edu. You may also print an Instructional Session form and send to the library. You will be notified of the Instructional Session confirmation and the name of the Librarian instructing via email.
