Library Services for Faculty

All CLTCC students, faculty, and staff have access to the library’s resources, whether they are on- or off-campus. Desktop computers and self-service photocopiers/printers are provided for student, faculty, and staff use at each campus location.

The CLTCC Library provides all its resources electronically through the CLTCC Library website. There are over 100,000 electronic periodical titles, electronic books (ebooks), images, and videos available for student, faculty, and staff use. These titles can be found through the CLTCC Library homepage by using the Database tab and selecting an option from the drop-down menu of available databases. Library patrons can also do a keyword search for electronic resources by searching in the Search the Databases box located on the library homepage; with this option, they can further narrow the search to include only full-text and/or peer-reviewed articles.

Students, faculty, and staff have access to these extensive resources both on- and off-campus. For off-campus authentication purposes, the library patron is required to enter their Log on Louisiana (LoLA) username and password. Access is authenticated through the Louisiana Technical Community College System (LCTCS) Banner system and a cloud-based EZProxy software program through OCLC (Online Computer Library Center). Remote access is particularly beneficial to our library users, as access to CLTCC library’s online resources is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from anywhere Internet access is available. 

Librarians are available to assist you with the following:

• Library Instruction (online or face-to-face)
• Reference/Research assistance

Library Instruction Goals and Objectives:

Library users will learn to find, locate, retrieve, evaluate, and use information resources through learner-centered instructional programs.

Program objectives:

• Learn the lifelong skills of finding and evaluating information in order for students to succeed at CLTCC and beyond
• Understand how to use information ethically and responsibly

To schedule a library session, please use the Library Instruction Form, which can be found here.

The librarians are domiciled at the Alexandria Main Campus and Huey P. Long Campus, with rotating coverage provided to the other campus locations. To provide more individualized service to the campuses, the librarians are assigned as campus liaisons. The librarians work with the campus deans to determine the best days and times to provide overall library coverage in the Computer Labs/Learning Resources Centers. Librarians also work with faculty and staff to determine individual class needs. Librarians can be contacted during normal business hours for assistance. Librarians also maintain virtual office hours through WebEx, which allows on-demand or scheduled access to a librarian during normal business hours. After hours, library users have access to online tutorials with instructions for accessing the library’s resources and other general library research assistance.  Whether meeting face-to-face or virtually, all library users receive the same friendly and professional assistance.
