In addition to the information and policies on the Home page of this guide, this additional information will be of use to GSE faculty and staff.
On this page, you will find information about getting research assistance for your students, borrowing policies for GSE faculty and staff; information on creating a reserve collection for your classes, and policies on using Meredith audiovisual equipment.
Research and Instruction Librarians are available to provide support for any research assignments you give your students. Contact them via reference@meredith.edu or 919-760-8095 to schedule a session or consult on a proposed research assignment.
Most library materials may be loaned to Governor’s School faculty and staff until the last week of the Governor’s School session. The loan period for videos is one week. Note that the final due date for students will be one week before the end of the Governor's School session.
A valid Meredith ID card must be presented to check out materials, including reserve items. Materials must be renewed in the library.
Reference books and periodicals do not circulate out of the library building unless special permission is given by a staff member.
Charges for lost items will be assessed.
The reserve collection is shelved by call number at the circulation desk. Reserves may be library books, personal copies, folders of materials, and non-print media. Reference books and library-owned periodicals are not placed on reserve.
These lists and materials to be placed on reserve must be brought to the circulation desk at least 2 work days in advance of their anticipated use by students.
To avoid confusion, assignments using reserve materials should not be given to students until the items are already on reserve.
AV equipment is an important part of the teaching/learning environment at Meredith. Technology for the classroom is an expensive resource. All users must use equipment properly and carefully and must be mindful of equipment security while they are using such equipment.
Media Services is located in the Carlyle Campbell Library and may be reached by calling 760-8444.
Borrowing AV equipment from the AV pool in the library
Governor’s School faculty may borrow circulating Media Services audiovisual equipment from the AV pool for on-campus use.
The procedures for regular check-out of AV equipment are as follows:
Using AV equipment assigned to classrooms, auditoriums, and other campus spaces
Many pieces of AV equipment are permanently assigned to classrooms, auditoriums, and other spaces on campus. Governor’s School faculty should respect these assignments and not move equipment from room to room without permission. All equipment must be used responsibly.
