In This Edition:
Linking in Canvas
Library Access in Canvas Courses
The library uses OpenAthens authentication for off campus access to our resources. OpenAthens allows us to provide you with links to library subscription content that you can post directly in your Canvas courses for your students. While this is primarily done with videos and ebooks added for specific courses, just about any library resource can be linked in Canvas. See the attached handout for instructions on linking to library ebooks, videos, databases and ejournals in Canvas.
Resource Highlight:
Free trial resources during COVID-19: Several vendors are offering free access to databases, ebooks, journals and videos to assist faculty and students experiencing a sudden move to all online classes. The library is adding access and information on these trials to the Faculty Resources for Online Courses section of our COVID-19 information guide. Currently activated trials include Visible Body, the FA Davis PT Collection (ebooks), Faculty Select and more.

Interlibrary Loan
The library’s Interlibrary Loan service allows us to borrow books and copies of journal articles from other libraries when they can’t be found in our collection. We borrow materials from libraries all over the country.
