Responsibilities have lessened for some of us. Others continue at a very busy pace. In this first issue of the Educational Resources Newsletter, you will find information to assist with your classroom instruction no matter your level of activity. New materials come into the unit on a regular basis. Databases and many instructional materials can be accessed from locations outside the University Libraries. Some of these will be highlighted along with services that could enrich your instruction sections. It is hoped that you will find this newsletter helpful now and in the future. Have a terrific summer! Educational Resources Collections Summer Services The ERC offers the same comprehensive services as those available during the regular academic year.

ERC Reserve Service Would you like to enhance your instruction sessions by showing a film but you can’t find the class time to do so? Do you already have a motion picture title on a list to view outside of class time? Place the film on reserve in Educational Resources Col- lections. Your students can view the film in ERC and be prepared to discuss it the next time the class meets. Placing the material on reserve ensures that it will be available for all of your students in a timely manner. To place materials on reserve, contact Brad Johnston at 285-4368.
