Teaching Online

With the continued shift to online instruction in this time of crisis, many publishers are providing expanded free access to their online materials to libraries. This page is frequently updated with the latest information regarding free access to these collections.

Access is constantly changing based on the evolving situation. You may also view the Information Services Providers Spreadsheet and Vendor Love in the Time of COVID-19 for externally updated lists of vendor and publisher responses to COVID-19.

While some of these collections can be accessed directly through their websites where noted, they are also all accessible through Quick Search or the databases which normally contain the resources.

Please contact the Libraries with any questions, and happy researching!
