Services to Faculty Assistants

The following services are of particular interest to GSB faculty assistants. For overall questions, Ask Paul Reist. Need research help? Use Ask Us.

Course Reserves

Instructions for submitting reserve material lists are sent to all faculty each quarter by the Reserves Coordinator. In addition, you can easily submit your list via the Reserve Reading Material form.

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

To see materials placed on reserve, go to Course Reserve.

Access & Borrowing

You can check out material for your faculty by proxy. Just inform the i-Desk that an item is being checked out in a professor's name.

Special borrowing privileges are available to colleagues of GSB faculty; to secure such privileges,  email us with the guest's name, sponsoring faculty and desired start/ end dates for access. (Note: Available only at the GSB Library. The sponsor is ultimately responsible for any unpaid fines.)

Document Delivery Service

Current Awareness Service

Current Awareness 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 professors, and delivered via Document Delivery.

Videotaping Release

The GSB must obtain a signed Release for Audio and Audio-Visual Files  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. The resulting videotape will be archived in Business Library.
