Services to Faculty Assistants

Welcome to our list of services of particular interest to GSB faculty assistants. We hope the services described below can assist you in assisting your professors.

Don't know whom to contact? Ask Paul Reist.

Need research assistance? Send requests to Ask a Librarian.

 

Course Reserves

Detailed instructions for submitting reserve material lists are sent to all faculty each quarter by the Reserves Coordinator. In addition, a copy of the Reserve Reading Material form is available to make it easier to submit an electronic copy of the list to the Library. Once you have filled out the form, we recommend you retain an electronic copy.

All reprints and past exams need to be delivered to Jackson in shelf-ready form (i.e. each copy in its own labeled binder or folder). Due to copyright constraints, Jackson cannot make additional copies of any Reserves material; furthermore, all copyright clearances must be obtained before delivering material to Reserves.

Course reserve lists and selected reprinted material are both available at the Jackson Library Reserves Webpage.

Questions? Please contact June Sage.

Access Services/ Circulation

Jackson Library is open to both the Stanford community and the general public. Special privileges are available to colleagues of GSB faculty; to secure such privileges, send an e-mail to Access Services stating the guest's name, sponsoring faculty and desired start/ end dates for access.

Faculty assistants can check out material for their faculty by proxy. Just inform the Access Services desk that an item is being checked out in a professor's name.

Questions? Please contact Joyce Rages.

Current Awareness Service

This free service allows GSB faculty to stay abreast of new articles in their field by automatically receiving electronic tables of contents of journals. Professors can set up their own journal profile, or have the Library do it. Individual articles can be electronically ordered by the professor from the contents pages, and delivered via Document Delivery.

Videotaping Release

The GSB must obtain a signed Shared Copyright Release for Freely Distributed A/ V Recordings or Release for A/ V Recordings to be Offered for Sale from all guest speakers who agree to be videotaped in the classroom. This enables the School to archive the video and make it available for use in future classes. Faculty assistants are responsible for completing the form for their professors. GSB policy requires that you submit the signed and completed form, no exceptions. Note the following steps:

  1. If the speaker accepts an invitation and the faculty member desires to tape the session, please send a letter with the official form to the speaker requesting agreement to be videotaped in the classroom. This letter can also include directions to the School and a guest parking permit.
  2. Contact GSB Media Services well in advance to request videotaping of the session.
  3. Monitor your request. If you do not receive the signed form within a reasonable time, you might contact the speaker and ascertain whether he/ she accepts videotaping. If the speaker does not,inform your faculty member that there will be no videotaping of the session.
  4. If as the class approaches you have not received the signed form or a response from the speaker, inform your professor. Again, videotaping cannot take place unless the official form has been signed and submitted.
  5. The signed and completed form should be delivered to GSB News and Publications (GSB S-166). The form and the resulting videotape will be archived in Jackson Library.
