Library and Technology Services

The exponential growth and increasing sophistication of information technology offer new and exciting opportunities for enhanced teaching, learning, and research. At Lehigh University, one merged organization called Library and Technology Services (LTS) delivers communications, computing, distance education administration, enterprise systems implementation, faculty development, library, and media services to capitalize on these new opportunities. Additional information about Library and Technology Services can be found at www.lehigh.edu/lts.

Libraries

Lehigh University has two major library facilities, the Linderman Library and the Fairchild-Martindale Library. The Lehigh University library collection comprises over one million volumes. Subscriptions to periodicals are mostly in electronic format, and the collection of ebooks is growing at a rapid rate.

The historic Linderman Library reopened after an extensive renovation as a showcase for humanities programs and collections, as well as an intellectual center for the campus at large. The 1878 high Victorian rotunda and the 1929 grand reading room were retained in all their magnificence. Among the new features are: seminar rooms, a computer classroom, exhibition space, group studies, a cafe, and wireless throughout. Linderman houses books and journals in the humanities and Lehigh’s impressive collection of rare books including Darwin’s Origin of Species and John James Audubon’s four-volume elephant folio edition of Birds of America. Digital library projects highlight various aspects of the collection from “Digital Bridges” (books on 19th century bridge construction and “Beyond Steel” (materials examining the social and cultural impact of the Lehigh Valley’s industrial past) to the Brown and White student newspaper archive. In addition, Special Collections holds numerous archival collections that focus on industrial and regional history.

The Fairchild-Martindale Library contains electronic and print books and journals in all branches of science, engineering, mathematics, and the social sciences, including business and education. It provides collaborative learning spaces, wireless connectivity, and comfortable lounge areas. As a government depository of long standing, the Fairchild-Martindale Library holds print and electronic federal and Pennsylvania documents.

The Libraries offer students, faculty, and staff a full range of electronic journals, full text and image databases easily accessible from on and off campus. The library web page library.lehigh.edu serves as a gateway to these resources, as well as encompassing news items, a blog, library hours, and an invaluable set of library research guides (Libguides). The web page also provides quick access to most library services and to research assistance. Interlibrary loan via ILLiad or PALCI (Pennsylvania academic libraries) allows for rapid and easy borrowing from collections in other libraries. There is also desktop delivery of scanned articles in Lehigh’s print journal collection (JSCAN). Students and faculty may borrow books directly from other academic libraries in the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges (LVAIC).

Networking and Voice Communications

Lehigh University is a “wired” campus in every sense of the word. A highspeed fiber optic backbone network ties together campus buildings and student residences, including fraternities and sororities. The Campus Portal allows each member of the Lehigh community to fully customize their access to web-based information and applications. Student computer use in the residences is supported by the WIRED program. Staff communicate with students in advance of their arrival at Lehigh to identify for them compatible hardware and software for use on the campus network. When students bring their computers to campus, staff assist them with their initial setup and provide continuing assistance with any networking problems throughout the semester. The front line WIRED consultants are well-trained students who live in the residences and can readily provide prompt, onsite assistance. See www.lehigh.edu/wired.

Lehigh also provides secure wireless connectivity in many campus settings – see www.lehigh.edu/wireless. Through Lehigh’s enterprise systems, convenient interactive services such as online course registration and online grades are offered to students. There is also a parent portal configured to parent’s needs and interests. Library and Technology Services supports a telephone system.

Computing

Providing technology and consulting services to support classroom teaching, laboratories, and other aspects of the academic and research programs is a strategic priority for Lehigh University. About 600 Windows and Macintosh personal computers are distributed across campus for convenient use by students at more than 27 computing sites. For example, there are more than 100 computers in the libraries and computing center, and 100 in Rauch Business Center. A twenty-four hour site at Grace Hall has 30+ machines. There are e-readers, tablets, and portable laptops equipped with wireless networking available for short-term loan at the Libraries and at the Media Center.

Students and faculty have access to site-licensed software applications and central file storage from on and off campus. LTS provides software at public sites such as desk top publishing and graphics software, programming languages, mathematical and statistical packages, and specialized applications for engineering, scientific publishing, and creative writing.

Lehigh provides access to a variety of high performance computing systems suitable for large scale computation and compute-intensive applications. These systems contain over 2000 processing cores and over 4 terabytes of memory available to tackle the most complex and demanding research projects. For more information, see www.lehigh.edu/computing/hpc. University computing capacity and Internet bandwidth are continuously being increased to meet escalating demand and the campus is also connected to the research-based Internet2 network.

The Technology Resource Learning Center supports faculty innovation -- see the Faculty Development section of this catalog for details. Library and Technology Services provides technical support for the many computer classrooms, suitable for individual “hands-on” instruction. 85% of all Lehigh University classrooms are equipped with permanently-installed computer projection systems. Laptops and portable computer projectors are available through Instructional Media Services to enable faculty or students to give computer-based presentations in any space.

Instructional Media Services

Instructional Media Services operates two facilities in Fairchild Library to provide students with access to and instruction in a wide range of media resources: the Media Center and the Digital Media Studio. The Media Center offers a variety of media resources including scanning, an extensive media collection, and loaner projectors, laptops and audio recorders. Videos and DVDS are available for viewing in the Center (all users) and for short-term loan (faculty and graduate students). The Center coordinates their acquisition for classroom use. The Media Center is also the location of Lehigh’s Technology Resource Learning Center which offers faculty the services of instructional designers and the use of a high technology demonstration classroom with Internet2 teleconferencing capability.

The Digital Media Studio offers students and faculty consulting assistance, a video editing lab, and a wide range of technology to support the creation of professional audio, graphic, and video materials for classroom presentations, projects, and portfolios. Students can scan and edit text, and these images can be output to printers or to computer files for further manipulation. Digital still and video cameras, a video and photography studio, and editing software facilitate the production of audio and video material to support the academic program.

A third media facility, the International Multimedia Resource Center (IMRC), is located in nearby Maginnes Hall. The IMRC trains students to produce web-based, graphic, video projects and consults with faculty wishing to explore new approaches to educational technology. It conducts workshops in web-authoring and multimedia production, and includes flexible seating, a web-capture whiteboard, scanners, a slide scanner, computer and viewing stations, as well as the technology to support it as the campus broadcasting hub.

Student Services

The library, computing center, and most distributed computing facilities are open seven days per week and for evening hours during the fall and spring semesters. During final exams the Fairchild-Martindale Library is open 24 hours. For most of these hours, a help desk located at the Fairchild-Martindale Library provides general help for students and faculty onsite and for telephone inquiries relating to both library research and computing. Help desk staff refer more specialized questions to experts as needed.

Students may also take advantage of virtual help desks where they enter the questions or problems relating to library research, computing hardware or software, or telecommunications at any hour of the day or night for response at a later time, usually within one working day. Most library and computing services are available electronically, for example, interlibrary loan and seminar registrations. “Live chat” library reference and computing help services are also available during many hours.

Each semester Library and Technology Services offers an extensive program of seminars and course-based instructional sessions for students. Attendees learn how to use software applications, library resources, and the Web-authoring tools. LTS professionals work closely with faculty to integrate library, computing and media resources into the curriculum. They facilitate the use of course management software, online courses of various kinds, and course projects in a wide range of disciplines using interactive Web sites created by faculty and students.

Through seminars and policies on the use of print and electronic resources, students are taught computer ethics, recommended computing practices such as frequent backup and password changes, and an understanding and respect for state and federal laws governing copyright, privacy, and destruction or vandalism of library resources or computer systems, networks, databases or software. A free electronic newsletter, LTS Digest, with quick tips and updates is published throughout the year and is available to students who subscribe. There is also a newsletter, the LTS Connection.

Library and Technology Services maintains a variety of facilities for printing, scanning, copying, and duplicating within the constraints of copyright and yearly paper consumption restrictions. In the library, public photocopiers, scanners, and microform printers are maintained for convenience in copying print or microform resources. The Digital Media Studio (described under Instructional Media Services) can duplicate audio and video resources. There are printers at most computing sites. Students are strongly encouraged to print responsibly by using the duplex feature, never printing multiple copies, and examining documents to eliminate unneeded sections before printing.

Student Employment

Student assistants are essential for the operation of most Library and Technology Services functions. Working for LTS, graduate and undergraduate students gain valuable skills and good work habits. At the job fair, held each fall, there are opportunities to learn in-depth about the jobs available.

Lehigh University Art Galleries – Museum Operation (LUAG)

The Lehigh University Art Galleries (LUAG) are visual laboratories that maintain and develop the university’s teaching art collection, and present temporary exhibitions designed to make visual literacy a result of the university learning experience.

UCPS staff members are committed to providing assistance to all registered Lehigh students interested in personal, social, and academic growth and discovery, and to the larger campus community through consultation, teaching, research, and various other types of involvement.

  2. Direct Services

    To accomplish its mission, and while upholding the established state and APA (American Psychological Association) ethical principles and code of conduct for psychologists, the UCPS provides a variety of services to the Lehigh University community including:

Center for Academic Success: University Center 403

Mastering time management, study skills appropriate for college level courses, as well as specific subject matter is imperative for academic success. The Center for Academic Success provides undergraduate and graduate tutors for most first and second year courses as well as study skills strategies and presentations to individual students and student groups. Center staff members work closely with other Academic Support Services to ensure that students are supported in their academic endeavors.

The Writing and Math Center: 110 Drown

Success at Lehigh depends, in part, on mastery of a number of advanced academic skills. The Writing and Math Center supports these vital academic abilities, providing trained consultants in writing and math. The Center provides individual or small group tutoring for students enrolled in undergraduate math courses, and writing consultation in all areas for students and for the Lehigh community. Tutoring and consultations are provided by graduate students; the service is free of charge.

Career Services

One function of a college education is to foster the growth and development of the student to prepare for a meaningful and satisfying life after college. Lehigh provides career planning services for undergraduate and graduate students as an integral part of the career development process.

Career planning can best be described as an educational process through which students (1) identify and develop their abilities, aptitudes, and interests; (2) learn the relationship between their capabilities and interests, their university experiences, and professional opportunities outside the university; and (3) prepare for those opportunities.

Career Services assists students through the process of researching targeted organizations that provide the types of work desired, interviewing for specific positions through which career or professional interests can be satisfied, and then selecting from the available options the one that best meets the student’s needs. This part of the process requires students to develop skills in such areas as effective resume and cover letter writing, interviewing techniques, and individual job search strategies to enhance productive interactions with employers.

The goals of this process are: to enable Lehigh students to think of themselves as educated individuals with skills and abilities of value to employers; to think in terms of functional responsibilities rather than simply linking major subjects to jobs; to acquire and develop the skills necessary to become self-reliant and informed decision-makers; to prepare for a competitive job market; and to develop the potential to become self-reliant managers of their own careers.

The Office of Career Services is committed to the preparation and education of all Lehigh students during the transition from the academic environment to the work place. Career Services offers the following resources and services to help students prepare for professional opportunities after graduation:

Career Counseling. Students may meet with professional counselors to discuss their career options and goals, individual job-search strategies, effective interviewing, and related interests. Self-assessment tools are available to assist students in identifying interests, skills and values.

Career Services Ambassadors. Ambassadors are student volunteers who have applied and interviewed to be trained to provide career assistance to their peers. Ambassadors are available throughout the semester to students who walk in with quick questions regarding resume assistance, the LUCIE system, library resources, and general job searching help.

Career Resources. Among the resources available in the Career Library are books and articles on career planning, current information on career opportunities, occupational information, graduate school resources, job search directories, a library of employer literature, and a database of alumni contacts who have volunteered to assist students with their job search strategies. Students may obtain our Career Planning Guide that describes how to use the on-campus interviewing system, prepare for interviews and plant/office visits, write resumes and cover letters, and develop individual strategies.

Workshops and Special Programs. Throughout the year counselors conduct a variety of seminars and presentations in collaboration with academic departments, professional societies, and other interested campus organizations. Workshops are offered on resume writing, interviewing techniques, networking, career portfolios, job searching and internet strategies. Special programs are conducted each semester, including career panels and mini career classes.

Experiential Education. Experiential Education programs are designed to enable Lehigh students to make educated decisions about career choices. Through participation in these programs, students gain firsthand knowledge and experience in a particular career field. Experiential Education programs include: internships, part-time positions, externships and cooperative education.

On-Campus Interviewing. Career Services works with over 200 organizations that interview on campus each year. Students utilize web-based software called LUCIE (Lehigh University Career Information Exchange) to view job openings, apply for positions using an on-line resume and sign-up electronically for specific interview times. Employers interview undergraduate and graduate candidates from all four colleges. Each year the OCI program is kicked off by a Career Fair that showcases nearly 200 employers interested in recruiting Lehigh students.

LUCIE. LUCIE is a searchable job listing database available on Career Service’s Web Page at www.lehigh.edu/careerservices. Job openings for internships, full-time and advanced-level positions can be searched by employer, location, job function, or major. Undergraduates and graduate students from all four colleges will find listings related to their fields of study.

Pre-professional Advising. The pre-professional advisor, along with a faculty advisory committee, provides information and guidance to candidates pursuing careers in medicine, dentistry, and other health professions, including individualized advising, special programs on health-related topics and field trips. In addition, information and assistance is provided for students interested in law school and legal careers.

The office is open throughout the year. The main phone number is (610)-758-3710 and the website is www.lehigh.edu/careerservices.

Office of Fellowship Advising

The Office of Fellowship Advising (OFA) helps Lehigh undergraduates apply for competitive national fellowships and scholarships. It publicizes opportunities, oversees the selection of candidates for awards that require university nomination and, with the assistance of Fellowship Advisors, guides students through frequently complicated application procedures.

The OFA web-site (http://www.lehigh.edu/~inofa/) contains descriptions of a wide variety of fellowships and scholarships, with links to the foundations’ official sites. The descriptions are divided into two categories. “Undergraduate Awards” are grants which students hold before taking their bachelor’s degrees and, in a few cases, during the summer following graduation. “Graduate Awards” are fellowships for which students apply either as seniors or as graduate students. Other sections of the site provide three types of information: the latest news and deadlines of the major awards; advice about how to present an effective application; and a compendium of publications, databases, and web-sites pertaining to awards in general.

Students who are interested in applying for awards and faculty members working with motivated, well-qualified students are encouraged to contact the OFA director, Richard Barsness (rwb0@lehigh.edu), or inofa@lehigh.edu.
