Support Services: Cline Library
The mission of the Cline Library is to support the curricular, research, and community service goals of Northern Arizona University and its constituents. A central learning resource, the Library offers services, instruction, and timely access to information resources and collections that
- prepare and develop students in our undergraduate, residential setting;
- meet the requirements of graduate programs that support the specialized interests of Arizona and the Colorado Plateau;
- reflect an educational environment that is culturally and socially diverse and global in perspective;
- support students and staff in thinking critically, acting cooperatively, and expressing creativity;
- serve individuals outside the residential setting who are seeking educational opportunities and enable distance learners to participate fully in the educational process;
- address the economic and social needs of the state through public service; and
- encourage continuous library staff development in pursuit of a highly-trained work force committed to the academic life of the University.
The Library can help faculty match resources and activities to specific learning outcomes, and integrate them online or in handouts. Resource Specialist teams specialize in supporting NAU's colleges and academic programs. Key resources:
- Licensed databases and other Web resources can be included directly in an online class or urls shared in assignment handouts.
- Electronic Reserves can include articles, e-books, listening examples, and other materials. We get the materials quickly and take care of copyright.
- Library Services include Ask a Librarian, Document Delivery, Wireless, Suggest a Resource, and more.
- Primary materials -- photographs, manuscripts, moving images, sound recordings, and other materials -- can be digitized for use in courses. If it's not already in the Colorado Plateau Digital Archives, library staff will digitize it.
