Learn more about:

Collection Development

We welcome recommendations from our campus community for books and journals to be added to the library collection. Send a message to your liaison librarian, call the Reference Desk at (616) 234-3868, or send an email with your recommendation. If you provide your contact information, we will notify you when the book arrives.

If you have any questions on about our policies on collection development, see our Library Collection Development Policy. (Revised Policy (2018) pointing to AGC's site will replace this one in early Summer 2018)

Copyright

Information about copyright can be found on the GRCC Library copyright information and procedures subject guide. 

Embed a Librarian Within Your Blackboard Course

Librarians will provide information literacy instruction in your Blackboard course with at least two weeks' notice. To request a librarian to work in your course, fill out an Information Literacy Request Form. Liaison librarians can also assist with adding links to copyrighted materials to Blackboard courses.

Liaison Librarians

One of the most important learning resources is a librarian designated to be a specialist for you and your department. Your department's liaison librarian handles: library materials orders; copyright questions; Open Educational Resources (OER) materials selection; subject guide curation; library accreditation reports; faculty training, and more. If you do not see your department listed, contact the library at  (616) 234-3868
