Services

Olin Library librarians are available to support your research, teaching, and scholarship. Each librarian serves as a liaison to an academic department, and can provide discipline-specific consultation and tailor resources to faculty and students.

They are available for one-on-one research assistance consultations, information literacy instruction, library orientations, and additional services.

Course Reserves & Course Lists

Need a book for your class? We gather book reserve requests to hold at the Circulation desk throughout the semester.

Beginning spring 2025, the library will unveil Study Stax, a powerful platform drawing from library holdings and other systems to pull centralized reading lists that can be published directly to Canvas for students to access. 

Curated Research Guides for Your Department or Course

Created by your Librarians, these research guides include links to quality and curated resources to support your students in their writing and research projects. Librarians can create guides specific to your courses or take any edit suggestions to available subject guides.

You can add these to your Canvas courses and course syllabi.

Library Research Instruction

Your librarians are available to teach a research session to your students on utilizing the library’s resources and services, critical thinking and information literacy competencies. The session can be tailored to meet the learning outcomes of your assignment.

The Olin Library offers two OER grants for current Rollins instructors:
