For Faculty & Staff
The Bailey Library provides many services to faculty and staff of WCC. See below for
more information about these services.
Research Instruction Program
WCC Librarians work to promote information literacy by providing research instruction in
conjunction with specific coursework for any class offered by the college. Preferably, instruction
takes place in the library, but under certain circumstances will be offered at the class site.
Librarians provide instruction in English, reading, communications, nursing, health sciences,
biology, psychology, economics, political science, career planning, graphic design, and art.
All other disciplines are welcome to use this service.
During each session, the Librarians teach research strategies for our collections along with explanations of the online library catalog,
research databases for articles in journals and newspapers, web evaluation, and other location tools in the Library as they apply to the library/research assignment given.
- STUDENTS
You may be enrolled in one or more classes that come to the Library for research instruction.
The content of each of these classes will vary according to the subject being studied.
If none of your classes are scheduled to come to the library for research instruction, ask a
Librarian at the Reference Desk if you can sit in on an instruction session scheduled for another teacher's class.
- INSTRUCTORS
For more information on research instruction sessions and how to schedule them, please select the link below.

- RESEARCH INSTRUCTION REQUEST FORM
Faculty can use the
Research Instruction Request Form
to request research instruction by a WCC librarian.
Blackboard Search Box Request Form
Faculty can use the Blackboard Search Box Request Form to create a search box on your Blackboard course site to cross-search selected library research databases.
Blackboard Linking to E-Articles
Once you have identified an e-article from one of the Bailey Library's research databases, you may want to provide a direct link to that article on your Blackboard course site for students. To do so, simply follow these steps:
- Copy the durable URL of the e-article from the research database. It can usually be found at the bottom of the article. Do not confuse this with the URL address in the web browser's address box.
Example of a durable URL: http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?&id=GALE%7CA250577369&v=2.1&u=lom_washtenawcc&it=r&p=AONE&sw=w
- Paste this durable URL to your Blackboard course site.
- Append the Library's proxy address, http://ezproxy.wccnet.edu/login?url= to the beginning of the e-article's durable URL.
Resulting in: http://ezproxy.wccnet.edu/login?url=http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?&id=GALE%7CA250577369&v=2.1&u=lom_washtenawcc&it=r&p=AONE&sw=w
The resulting URL is then ready for both on-campus and off-campus access by your students.
