Library resources for faculty - Fayetteville Technical Community College

Department Evaluation of Library Collection & Faculty Recommendations

FTCC faculty play an important role in collection development of both the main campus library and the public library serving the Spring Lake campus. Faculty from each department will visit the library and review sections of the print collection relevant to their areas of expertise. Generally, this is accomplished during the time allotted for departmental activities when the faculty return from the summer break and will also be accomplished at any time according to the needs of the curriculum.

If you are a faculty member participating in collection review on the main campus, please visit the circulation desk on the library’s second floor and ask for one of our Librarians to assist you.

Spring Lake faculty must visit the Spring Lake branch of the Cumberland County Public Library and ask for FTCC Liaison Librarian Casey Ausborn or via email at causborn@cumberland.lib.nc.us. The library is located beside the Spring Lake Campus.
