Services and Resources for Faculty at Santa Clara University

In support of the University’s strategic plan, Information Services provides a wide array of instruction and training services that are delivered in person (by an individual or a team), by phone, and through the world wide web; some of these services, such as virtual reference, are available 24 hours/day.

IS offers a wide-range of faculty services designed to support teaching, learning, and scholarship at SCU:
