Research Assistance and Instruction

RESEARCH HELP

The Psychology Research Guide (LibGuide) is a good starting point for students and faculty research.

Please do not hesitate to contact your librarian, John, with questions. Research appointments are available in-person and virtually.

For more immediate help, 24/7 via chat/text, please use Ask a Librarian.

RESEARCH INSTRUCTION

John will continue to be available for research instruction. He can do in-person or virtual instruction -- or create a customized research guide.

Course Reserves

You may place physical copies of textbooks and other materials on course reserves. It may be possible that we can make items such as book chapters on electronic course reserve.

Course Reserves Page
Course reserves are supplementary teaching materials reserved by a professor for students to use in a specific course. The purpose of course reserves is to ensure the availability of these important supplementary materials and to provide each student in the class fair and equal access

Open Educational Resources

As a starting point, Furman University has a list of Open Educational Resources for Psychology (courtesy: James A. Duke Library).

Additional suggestions may be available using the following resource:

Affordable Learning and Open Educational Resources
Learn about Upstate's affordable learning initiative and how librarians, instructional designers and others can help you find and use OER and other affordable resources.

John can also assist faculty in finding books available through the library and other open source/affordable options for courses.
