Welcome to the Faculty Newsletter

Sacred Heart remains in Phase 2 of the Covid-19 Operational Response Plan. We are closed to the public. Faculty may visit the library, please let us know you are coming. Remember the following:

Dr. Paul Monson urges us to 

"Be clear about communication expectations on your end as the professor. You cannot be available at all hours of the night or weekend. It's unreasonable and unhealthy."

• Will you be using digital resources (database articles, websites) in your fall reading lists? We can help you select the best, correct URLs for students to link to.
• If you are using selections (chapters) from printed books we can advise you regarding copyright permissions.
