Library Resources

1. Free E-Book Availability: Did you know that our library offers more than 1 million ebooks with unlimited access? Our selection offers potential for required and recommended readings, and direct links can be shared on email or Canvas. We have designed a query to generate browseable lists of ebooks by topic. (Results can be provided in a spreadsheet such as this one on ebooks published on “French literature” in the last five years.) If this is of interest, please contact Anu Vedantham. Within Alma (our catalog back-end), we can search for the unlimited/open access ebooks by subject (keyword), author and title. The results come in a spreadsheet with links (see Column E in the sample. Faculty can click through to browse the ebooks and use Leganto (our course reserves system) to add them to Canvas courses. Some ebooks can be embedded directly in a Canvas page. Occasionally, database vendors will withdraw ebooks (typically in June), and we can alert faculty to any changes in access. Our subject specialists can provide guidance virtually by appointment.
2. Course Reserves: Did you get a copy of a textbook from the publisher? Do you want to leave a DVD for students to re-watch? You can place a copy on Course Reserve at the Library and designate its use for your class. Books are checked out briefly and returned for other students to use. 
3. Many commonly required books, like citation style guides, are available for online access.
