Library Support for Online Teaching / Home

Library Online Resources

• When searching Primo, exclude titles that are available in the library. All library e-resources are accessible on and off-campus Some materials are not indexed in Primo, so reach out to Email a Librarian if there is something, in particular, you are looking for and not finding. See Linking to Cook Library E-Resources for more information on integrating these resources into Canvas.

Converting Print Resources to Digital Formats

• If a book you wish to add to your syllabus is currently only available to you in print, the library may be able to purchase a multi-user ebook copy for your class to use. Please reach out, and we are happy to check our vendors.

Acquiring articles for Canvas

• Through ATLA, MCLS, SCELC and direct purchases, Cook Library has access to many full-text databases.  They may not seem relevant to your specialization, but they do contain content that is relevant to your teaching and studies.
• We urge you to search for your citations using the Primo Citation Linker
• If Cook Library does not have what you need electronically, please coordinate with the Educational Technology office to have your content digitized.

Research Question Support

• The library will continue to respond to emailed research questions through Email a Librarian or directly with a librarian. Chat reference is available depending on library hours and staff availability.

Virtual Library Instruction for an Online Class

• We can create Research Guides that highlight specific online resources and tools.

• Would you like librarian support embedded in your online course? Consider adding your library staff member as a teaching assistant or teacher to your Canvas course. Please consult with us on the particular areas of the course in which you would like us to be involved.

• The library continues to support research assignments through our online resources. If access to needed physical resources is limited, contact Email a Librarian for assistance.
