Faculty Guide to Library Resources

 

 

The NCC Library is proud to support teaching and learning at the college.

Request Library/Research Instruction

NCC's librarian can come to your classroom to show students how to access online library resources for research papers and assignments. Please submit this form at least one week before you would like her to visit and please provide her with a copy of the assignment so she can tailor her instruction. Email Fran Keenan for more information.

Library Collection now 98% eBooks

The majority of NCC's library's books -- 98% -- are now eBooks. Most of these eBooks are from academic publishers and qualify as scholarly resources. To search for a book on specific topic search all ebooks at the same time in NCC Library OneSearch on library homepage. (Choose eBooks tab).

To use an eBook -- in whole or in part--in Canvas, cut and paste the "Permalink" into the course. Contact the NCC Librarian for assistance.

Please Tell Your Students about Tutoring

In-person tutoring for writing and math

happens in the library starting the second week of the term. Most tutors are NCC faculty. Please find schedule on the library’s tutoring information page  https://library.nashuacc.edu/home/tutoring.

In-person accounting and science tutoring

happens in faculty offices or labs. Please find schedule on the library’s tutoring information page  https://library.nashuacc.edu/home/tutoring.

Online video and chat tutoring (covering most subjects)

is handled by Brainfuse and can be accessed from inside each course in Canvas. The link—24/7 Tutoring--is on the left-side menu by default.

 

Assign online tutoring

For information on assigning online Brainfuse tutoring to individual students or to an entire class, see video below or contact Fran Keenan.

 

This video demo of Brainfuse covers both student and faculty use of online tutoring. Faculty can assign Brainfuse tutoring. Note: The information for faculty about assigning tutoring lasts 15 minutes and starts at the 38:09 minute mark.

Hint: You can adjust the playback speed on YouTube videos. Click on Settings gear icon. I set this one at .75 speed because the presenter speaks so quickly!
