LIBRARY SERVICES FOR FACULTY MISSION The Betty Sue Jessup Library offers dynamic, point-of-need services from information experts and quality collections that equip students with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to be successful lifelong learners. The library’s mission is achieved through:
• Teaching and promoting information literacy and critical thinking • Partnerships with faculty to provide instructional support services
for students • Quality resources that align with the college’s curriculum • Resources comparable to collections available at four-year institutions
VISION The Betty Sue Jessup Library seeks to be recognized as an integral part of student success and as an instructional partner with faculty.
VALUES Information literacy and critical thinking prepare students to succeed both academically and professionally, and are the foundations for all learning.
SERVICES OFFERED Instruction Embedded Librarian Program: An embedded librarian acts as an information literacy instructor in your class, relieving you of the burden of teaching research skills and reviewing citations. Interactions usually occur through a discussion forum in Blackboard where students can access a librarian during each phase of their assignment. Having an embedded librarian ensures that students get help when they need it and when they are most receptive to it. Librarians can:
• Help students develop a thesis • Help students pick a topic if they don’t know what they would like to
write about • Help them locate library materials (and Web sources if those are allowed) • Vet their sources • Check their in-text and parenthetical citations • Check their References/Works Cited page to make sure they have
correctly formatted their citations • Post documents or announcements to the Blackboard site
(with instructor permission)
ABOUT The Betty Sue Jessup Library was originally dedicated in 1991 in honor of Betty Sue Jessup, a local business leader and philanthropist, through an endowment from the James L. Jessup, Sr. family and the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Central Virginia. The Jessup family funded additional upgrades and renovations again in 2007, at which time the library was re-dedicated in Ms. Jessup’s honor. Today, the Betty Sue Jessup Library continues to expand, evolve, and meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff.

Copyright Fair Use: Although the Jessup Library cannot provide legal advice, staff will assist you with understanding copyright and fair use and provide you with materials to make a fair use justification.
Open Educational Resources (OERs): If you wish to include OERs in your courses, visit the Open Educational Resources Playbook at http://libguides.pvcc.edu/oers for links to collections and information on licensing and attribution. Library Services Coordinator Crystal Newell offers professional development and one-on-one assistance with OERs. Please contact her at cnewell@pvcc.edu with any questions.
Reference Research Assistance: The Jessup Library extends the same research assistance to faculty that it does to students. If you are working on a committee and need assistance with a literature review, or if you are working to have something published, library staff is available to help.
Customized Playbooks: The Jessup Playbooks, available at http://libguides.pvcc.edu, offer targeted, customized support to students and faculty. Playbooks can be tailored to a course, or preferably, to an assignment. These playbooks serve as step-by-step guides to students as they work through reading, interpreting, and completing an assignment. Contact the Jessup Library to find out how these guides can help your students succeed.
Personal Librarian: Students often need consistent support throughout a semester as they progress from introductory material to mastery. With a personal librarian, students in developmental, capstone, or “killer” courses work with a librarian throughout the semester on all aspects of information literacy and research. Contact Laura Skinner at lskinner@pvcc.edu for more information.
Circulation Reserves: You may place books, folders, study guides, and videos on reserve for your classes. Reserve items are kept at the circulation desk and may be checked out for use in the library. Contact Jacqueline Carrell for additional information at jcarrell@pvcc.edu.
Collections: Bring your PVCC Employee ID to check out materials. Most materials are checked out for 28 days with infinite renewals, provided no one else requests the item. For more information, visit the Library Policies page at www.pvcc.edu/student-services/library/library-policies.
Interlibrary Loan: If the library does not provide access to an item you need such as a book or article, then request it through interlibrary loan, a free service. Submit your request online at www.pvcc.edu/student-services/library/interlibrary-loan-request.
