Research Help

We are available to help you and your students find resources -- whether from the library or on the web. We can help your students with understanding their assignment instructions, narrowing a topic and coming up with a research question, finding and evaluating sources, reading through the sources to understand them, and citing them in APA or MLA format. 

We can usually be found in the library, but feel free to make an appointment. We are also available by phone or email.

Questions About Copyright?

Do you have questions about copyright, fair use, and the educational exception to copyright (TEACH Act)? 

Learn more or contact the UCC Librarians.

Test Proctoring

For questions about test proctoring, contact the Testing Center or UCC Library to find the best option for your course.

Textbooks on Reserve

Place textbooks, books, articles, or audio/visual materials on reserve for your students. Create e-reserves for the first two weeks of reading for your courses. Check the list of current textbooks on reserve to make sure yours are up-to-date and to see technology (e.g., laptops, calculators) available for your students to borrow. If you can't get a copy of your textbook, complete the Faculty Requests for Textbooks/Library by the deadline each term.  Learn more...

Information Literacy Presentations

Schedule information literacy presentations and activities for your in-person, online and remote classes. 

  • Tailored for your classes and assignments.
  • Zoom sessions + assignments, quizzes, and/or discussion forums to help students digest and practice what they're learning.

Learn more or contact the Reference Librarian to schedule!

How to Find Library/Web Sources

Find book, ebooks, academic articles, news, magazines, encyclopedias, and streaming video on the Library website.

Visit the Library Research Tutorial to find how to research at the UCC Library and on the web. 

If you're interested in specific journals, see the Find Journals page. 

Library Collection Requests

Does the UCC Library have the print and online collections to support your students' learning? Are you unsure of what we have and want to check with us?

Are there web (non-library) resources (e.g, census data) that your students could use for their assignments? Would a library research guide and/or an information literacy presentation teaching them how to search for, evaluate, and use these resources be helpful?

Please complete the form below and we'll follow-up with you!
