Welcome to the Watson Library Faculty Resources Page

This page was created to provide our faculty with library tools and learning resources for keeping up to date on topics relating to teaching and learning in higher education today. The Watson Library proudly subscribes to resources that assist our students in research, but our other major goal is to help our faculty stay current with trends and events in higher education. We hope that you will bookmark this page, and check it often, as we curate more resources to help you succeed in the classroom.
