Faculty Guide & Services
Want to know how you can work with a Faculty Librarian? You can find information about librarians, library resources, suggesting library materials for purchase, course reserves, digital scholarship services and technology services, all on this guide.
Research Consultations
Librarians can provide assistance with many types and all stages of research projects for all members of the NCF community. In addition to discussing and locating information resources and search strategies for class assignments, presentations, proposals, and theses, we can also provide project management guidance including narrowing/broadening you research idea, formulating a clear research question/statement, and reviewing tools for managing and annotating citations and sources (Zotero, for instance).
Although there are many helpful and skilled staff members in our library, there are three faculty librarians who are experts in conducting research and guiding researchers through all stages of the writing and discovery process.
You can book a 30-minute consultation with a librarian in-person or online via Zoom. Choose a day and time that works best for you.

Group Study Rooms
Group project or group study? Six Group Study Rooms are located on the first floor of the Cook Library. One to two people can use Group Study Rooms 143,144,145, 146, and 147. Four to eight people can use Group Study Room 134. Each room can be used for up to an hour and a half and may be renewed. Study rooms do have whiteboards and markers. Group Study Room keys are checked out on a “first come/first served” basis from the Service desk on the first floor. The Service desk staff can answer any questions you may have about the Group Study Rooms. Please keep in mind that the group study rooms are not soundproof.
Workshop Room
The Workshop Room, LBR 141, is available by reservation for use by NCF/USF SM faculty and staff for workshops, brown bags, lectures, etc. The Workshop Room is not a group study room. To request a reservation, please e-mail libraryadmin@ncf.edu with the date, time, length of session, and intended use. After your reservation is confirmed, you can check out a key just before your event at the Service Desk on the first floor of the library. Technology/AV for the room: LBR 141 has a computer (pc), a VCR, and a region-free DVD player connected to a big screen monitor, as well as wireless access. If additional technology/AV is needed, or there are any problems with the technology, please contact ETS (edtech@ncf.edu) — note that there are no staff available to troubleshoot technology/AV during evenings or weekends.
