Information Science Classes
(Information Literacy)
Librarians offer Information Literacy classes for courses by request. Sessions are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, and instructors are encouraged to submit a request at least one week in advance. To schedule a session, please submit a Request for Library Instruction Online.
In addition to scheduled class sessions, the library is currently reworking a host of of more informal 30-minute Library Workshops that will be offered throughout the year. These drop-in workshops will cover a variety of topics. Until these are ready, students are welcome to stop by the Library and get one-on-one help.
Course Reserves
The library's Course Reserves collection (located behind the Circulation Desk counter) offers students an extensive array of textbooks for courses currently being taught at Miramar College. Instructors who wish to place items on Reserve should fill out a Course Reserve Request Form and turn it in to the staff at the Circulation Desk. Processing may take a day or two until the materials are available for student use. Contact Cattleya Amezcua at (619) 388-7618 for further information.
Search our online Course Reserves Lookup to identify titles available in our Reserves collection.
Suggestions for Purchase
Faculty recommendations for additions or deletions to our collection will help keep the campus library holdings current, vital, and responsive to the college's curriculum changes.
To help develop our ever-expanding collection, faculty can recommend specific titles for purchase (that support campus instructional programs). We invite you to use our Collection Purchase Request Form for submitting recommendations. We also welcome your collaboration on collection weeding projects—to keep the collection up to date.
Each faculty librarian has been assigned specific subject areas to develop. See our Library Staff Directory to contact the librarian liaison who oversees the collection in your subject discipline(s).
Open Educational Resources
The Library supports and encourages the use of open educational resources (OER) to facilitate instruction at Miramar College. For additional information about open educational resources, see our OER Getting Started guide or contact our Instruction/Open Educational Resources Librarian Angela Boyd at [email protected].
