University Libraries

The University Libraries can help you find content and media for your course. They also have a limited supply of laptops that can be borrowed if you need one to author your course materials. Contact the Subject Specialist librarian assigned to your field for assistance. 

The University Libraries also have a guide for continuity of library services and resources that provides information for how you and your students can make use of the library's services. The guide also includes instructor resources to help you find additional materials to use in your courses.
