New Faculty Guide

Welcome New Faculty

Welcome to the University of Southern Indiana! We in the David L. Rice Library are looking forward to collaborating with you to support your teaching and research goals, as well as the information needs of your students. Rice Library advances the discovery, sharing, and preservation of knowledge by providing exceptional spaces, resources, services, and personnel. This guide is designed as a quick introduction and hub for many of these core services and resources that you might need as you get started at USI this fall. 

While we have provided a lot of information here, this guide is far from comprehensive. The most important connection for you as a new faculty member at USI is your liaison librarian. They are your first contact for everything from library instruction for your courses to assistance in setting up search alerts and citation managers for your research. Feel free to reach out whenever, however, and as often as you need.
