Faculty,
On behalf of the Tulane University Libraries staff, we welcome you to another exciting school year! This guide will connect you with the tools and resources provided by the library to support your teaching, learning, and research. The guide will also introduce you to the policies and procedures related to resources in your discipline. While this guide is simply a landing page for all social science faculty, we encourage you to review the library guides that have been created for your specific department and/or courses. Check out the tab below to learn more about navigating this guide. We look forward to engaging with you and your students this year!
Best,
