Welcome Faculty

﻿Faculty Library Cards

UAS faculty members receive an extended loan period of 120 days (1 semester) for Egan Library books. Items may be borrowed from any library in the Joint Library Consortium (alternate checkout periods may apply) and may be returned to any participating library regardless of where the item was borrowed.  UAS Faculty can have their Whalecard set up as their library card (requires latest version with scan-able barcode/UA ID# on back, replacement Whalecards are $10 at Student Accounts). Faculty must have a current library account in good standing to offer Course Reserves for materials.  Faculty borrowing privileges may also be extended to visiting faculty from other UA campuses (ie UAF SFOS @ Lena Point) and to staff from ACRC cooperating partner agencies (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, the U.S. Forest Service Alaska Region) with valid school/government issued ID.

﻿E-books for the Classroom

Egan Library will buy electronic versions of key texts and supplemental readings to support your classes if they are available.  We believe that these purchased e-Books can help to reduce costs for students and increase access to recommended or required readings for a course.  Once purchased, UAS has perpetual rights to the e-Book and it remains within our online collection. We make every attempt to purchase e-Books with unlimited access. However, if a limited number of users is our only option for an e-Book, we will consult with you prior to purchase.   This is one way UAS Faculty can address the problem with textbooks and increase students access to learning materials (and no waiting for books to arrive).    

Simply fill out a request form and we’ll do the rest!

﻿Course reserves information

Learn more about Egan Library Course Reserves service and find Course Reserve Request Forms.   

We want you to be successful in your teaching and academic pursuits, and we want your students to be successful.  If there is a service not mentioned on this page that you'd like to see, please make a suggestion.
