Did You Know? New Year, New Homepage
Just in time for a new year, the library has a new homepage! After faculty and student feedback on our design, we have rolled out a new, simplified look that highlights the library’s single search box approach to finding resources. Use the library search box as the starting point for your and your students’ research. Individual database and journal links, as well as ebooks and videos are still available on the homepage under the Resources tab. Program Guides and other guide links are all housed under the Guides tab.
Check out our updated library tutorials for a quick walkthrough of the new look. You can choose from several short YouTube series:

February Library Webinar
Hyperdrive Your Courses: Integrating the Library in Canvas
Did you know you can include library subscription content directly in your Canvas courses? While this is primarily done with library-provided hyperlinks to videos and ebooks purchased for specific courses, just about any library webpage or resource can be added in Canvas. You can also use a Canvas tool to pull library webpages and database links directly into your courses. Join Jonathon Hudson, our Electronic Resources Librarian, for a webinar on integrating library resources in your Canvas courses on February 2nd at 10:30am EST. Unable to attend live? The recording will be provided to all registrants.
