Dear professors,
Spring has finally come and I hope that all of you will fully enjoy the warmer weather on our campus.
As usual, I am writing to kindly remind you about the library resources and services available for you. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like to schedule a tailored library instruction for your class(es). Also, please encourage your students to reach out to me if they need library research assistance.
In addition, I would like to use this opportunity to highlight several relevant and helpful resources from our existing subscriptions:
Chronicle of Higher Education — 1970-present
https://research.ewu.edu/chroniclehighered
“The Chronicle of Higher Education has the nation’s largest newsroom dedicated to covering colleges and universities. It provides educators with indispensable real-time news and deep insights, plus the essential tools, career opportunities, and knowledge to succeed in a rapidly changing world.”
SAGE Stats database
https://research.ewu.edu/sagestats
Collection of data measures spanning all U.S. states, counties, cities, metropolitan areas, and zip codes. Data goes back more than 20 years. Covers the economy, education, crime, government finance, health, population, religion, social welfare, and transportation. “By harmonizing carefully-vetted data from multiple sources into the same format– allowing quick downloads, comparisons, and visualizations–SAGE Stats provides power and context for researchers at all levels.”
The Video Journal of Counseling and Therapy

This resource is a streaming collection of research and best practices in the fields of counseling, mental health, and psychology. Content includes contemporary presentations, lectures, and workshops from prominent counselors, psychologists, and practitioners. Currently with nearly 478 titles, such as Caring for the Alzheimer’s Patient: Plain Talk and Practical Tools; Couple Therapy: The Complete Guide; Autism: Current Perspectives and Future Outlook ; and Strategic Therapy with a Couple , topics include PTSD, cognitive behavioral therapy, addictions, ADHD, psychopharmacology, evidence-based treatment, suicide risk assessment, compassion fatigue, and family and couples therapy.
Lastly, we have launched a library satisfaction survey

We will appreciate if you can help us distribute this survey link to your students via Canvas and encourage them to fill out the survey. Your student’s responses will help us assess and improve library services.
