Would You Like the Library Staff to Offer Library Orientations to Your Classes?
Instruction Services: Library staff at both campus library locations can conduct sessions to help teach your students to evaluate information, use library databases or do research on specific topics. Advanced notice of class visits is highly recommended so that staff can customize the presentation to your needs.
Database Information Sheets: Both library locations have one-page database information sheets that briefly describe each database, how to do basic and advanced searches, how to print, save and email articles, and specific information relative to each individual database.

Do You Need to Order Library Materials to Support Your Curriculum?
Library staff welcomes input from faculty on their curriculum needs. Requests for library materials purchases can be emailed, faxed or made in person at either campus library location. The minimal information needed to process the request is the author (if available), title, copyright date and a ISBN number or ISBN-13 number. The more information you have about a resource, the better.

If you have any questions not answered here, give Library Staff a call at 918-463-6210 in Warner or 918-684-5408 in Muskogee. We look forward to seeing you in the Library! WELCOME!
