Adler School of Professional Psychology Catalog 2008 – 2009

The faculty consists of core, part-time program, and adjunct or sessional
members. Core faculty members are full-time. Core faculty members are
actively involved in academic governance, faculty committees, student
advisement and mentoring, clinical supervision, curriculum development,
community involvement, and research. Core faculty members maintain office
hours and are on-site four days per week. The faculty members have created
a learning community committed to the discovery and development of
knowledge, values, and skills where students can engage in a rich learning
experience.
The core faculty is supplemented by part-time program and adjunct/
sessional faculty, visiting professors, and other professionals, who are hired to
teach specific courses or render other academic or clinical services.
Adjunct/sessional faculty members are chosen for their expertise in specific
areas of program curricula.
The Library
The Sol and Elaine Mosak Library of the Adler School of Professional
Psychology is a dynamic partner in mentoring socially responsible practitioners
through learning, research, and individual service. The Library collaborates with
faculty, clinicians, and researchers to support students in their progress to
achieve the Adler School’s institutional learning outcomes.
The Library is staffed by three librarians and four student assistants, who
are available to help the Adler Community to make the fullest use of academic
resources for research and curricular needs. In the service of our mission, we
select, organize, present, preserve, and teach the resources that best address
the current and anticipated academic needs of our students, faculty, and
community affiliates.
The Library is a member of the I-Share integrated library system that
serves as the online catalog for 71 member libraries in Illinois. I-Share member
libraries share resources, so that the Adler School community has access to a
shared collection of over 9 million unique records.
Library services include:
• individual research consultation for papers, presentations, theses, or
dissertations
• subject-specific classroom instruction sessions
• individual instruction in the selection and use of databases
• interlibrary borrowing of books or journal articles not owned in our
collection, through the ILLIAD resource sharing system.
