Resources
With the shift to online instruction, the Libraries encourage instructors to take advantage of our vast suite of online resources including but not limited to eBooks, videos, journal articles, and newspaper articles. The majority of these resources can be accessed remotely and many resources can be accessed by unlimited users.
All current students and employees can access e-resources, regardless of unpaid fines or fees.
New employees: please contact us to get your Library account activated.
To find online resources to use in your classroom, use the Search the Library Collections box on the Library homepage. Choose the Full Text Online option on the left-hand side to limit your results to only online resources.

eBook collections with unlimited users include
