Your syllabus not only communicates course expectations, policies, and procedures with your students, but also shares resources to help them succeed in your class. Consider including a library statement on your course syllabus to share how the Bentley Library's services and resources can support them. Our suggested syllabus statement is included below on this page, but please adapt for your needs.
The Bentley Library supports the research and learning needs of the Bentley community through our spaces, technology, collections, teaching, and expertise. Open 99 hours per week during the semester, the Library provides spaces for quiet study and group collaboration, as well as computers, printers and other equipment. Research assistance is available until 9:00 p.m. most nights in-person at the Reference Desk and via email (refdesk@bentley.edu), phone (781.891.2300), text (781.728.0511), and live chat (https://www.bentley.edu/library/research/help). Reference Librarians can help you develop research questions and topics, select databases and other resources, evaluate information, and properly cite sources. Research consultations for individuals and small groups are available in-person and via Zoom by appointment.
