Print Materials
Due to COVID-19, physical items, such as books, will be quarantined for 72 hours upon return. We encourage instructors to contact their subject librarian to see if there is an online alternative. You can also ask Digital Media Services (DMS) to digitize library-owned book chapters, journal articles, and videos for use in Canvas.
Library Materials in Canvas
Using an ebook from the library's collection? Ask your subject librarian to verify that our license allows multiple simultaneous users.
Using an online journal article from our subscriptions? Be sure to include our proxy prefix in URLs to ensure that students can access the article from off-campus.
The library doesn't own what you need?
If we do not have the item you need for your class, ask your subject librarian to add it to the collection, or submit a Suggest a Purchase form.
