Hunter Library Announces New Service for Faculty

Beginning today, Hunter Library offers a new service for WCU faculty. Faculty Article Delivery (FAD) makes it easier for you to acquire articles, book chapters, or conference papers. Just submit a citation—or list of citations—to http://library.wcu.edu/libraryservices/FAD.htm and we will do the rest! You no longer need to determine if the copy you want is available through ABC Express, Interlibrary Loan, Ingenta, or some mysterious database. We will find it and deliver it to your desktop.

Caveats of this new service:

Citations must come directly from faculty. We can not accept requests from graduate students at this time.

The service is for copies only. We anticipate adding the ability to request books, media, and other physical items in the future.

For questions regarding FAD, email Krista Schmidt, FAD Coordinator or call her at 828-227-2215.

Color Printer Available in Hunter Library

The color printer in the Pay-for-Print system has been moved to the Hunter Library main floor, across from the Reference Desk. For 75 cents per page, patrons can send color print jobs from any computer labs or from computers in the Library. Jobs sent to this printer can be released from the 3 release stations in the Library, where they can be paid for with a CatCard or cash.
