Consider assigning digital materials available
from the Libraries including journal articles, ebooks,
streaming video and audio, news, and more.

Many traditional textbooks are unavailable for any library to purchase in digital form, regardless of budget.
The library is unlikely to be able to provide digital access to textbooks from Pearson Education, Scholastic, McGraw-Hill Education, Cengage Learning, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Most likely, we can provide print copies. Students can also use TAP funds for digital or print access.
Example textbooks:
Choosing topics
Developing research questions
Identifying keywords
Exploring research tools
Searching
Evaluating sources
Virtual visits can range from short presentations to longer interactive workshops.
Some of the topics librarians can
cover with your students:
Digital Scholarship projects (Scalar, Omeka)
Librarians are available to meet with students individually or in small groups.
Research guides for courses can highlight resources and provide tips for effective use
