Semester at Sea

This guide will provide library-related information for Semester at Sea faculty

During Your Voyage

Shipboard Library Overview

Catalog access.  Access to the library catalog is available on each shipboard computer and wirelessly on your own laptop. An account is created for each voyager (students, faculty, staff, lifelong learners) in the library catalog each semester so that loans can be tracked.

General collection.  The library contains about 6,000 volumes specifically tailored to international study and travel, and to the curriculum of your voyage.  Books from the library’s general collection can be loaned for up to 2 weeks. Even though there are no doors in the library, books taken after hours must be signed out on the sheet at the desk.

Reserve materials.  Course reserves and travel guides are kept in the library and are loaned for up to 2 hours while the library is open.

Electronic reserves.  Electronic reserves are stored in course folders on the shipboard intranet organized first by faculty name, then by course name. Faculty can add/edit files in their own course folders as needed.  Students will have read-only access.

Movies.  Movies requested by faculty are eligible to be shown on television.  The only movies that will be on board are those requested for Reserve, videos requested from previous voyages, and 100 or so items that have Public Performance Rights - the remainder of the Semester at Sea video collection is housed at CSU and assembled by the CSU Library by request for the voyage. 

Reference services.  Librarians will provide reference services using the shipboard library collection and the CSU library's subscription databases available to all students.

Library instruction.  Librarians are available to come into the classroom to introduce the library resources pertinent to the research required for a specific course
