Kira Isaacs (who works with librarian Courtney Bippley) wonders what library services are available online. 

Remember that being at home doesn’t mean you have to go it alone! 

The library supports online learning in many ways…

Get in touch with a librarian!

  • Email Help— Librarians are also available for research help via email too!
  • Customized Instruction—Instructors, we can create short video tutorials just for your students to help them navigate library resources. We can even join your class online! Interested? Ask us!
