The replacement cycle for faculty is being standardized with that for other employees at four years. Faculty had been replaced every three years, including the summers of 2002 and 2005. A four year cycle is manageable for most needs and maximizes our hardware investments.

As we move to a staggered replacement cycle, Summer 2008 we replaced hardware for 3/4 of those involved in the rollout and all involved received updated versions of the software. Summer 2009, 1/4 of those involved will receive new hardware and software.

Library and Information Services is committed to providing training and instruction to all Luther constituencies including faculty, staff, students, and alumni. A variety of opportunities are available.

Preus Library, in support of the College's mission, promotes information literacy for all members of the campus community. Library faculty guide the college community toward a sophisticated level of information literacy through helping them clearly express information needs, locate relevant sources, analyze those sources critically, investigate with a degree of innovation, and use applicable technologies to synthesize information.

LIS offers assistance in providing access to readings and other materials (sound recordings, videos, etc.) that support the instructional requirements for specific courses. This is done through the KATIE learning management system, eReserves, and physical reserves.

KATIE:

LIS recommends KATIE as the preferred method for handling eReserves.
