Fortunately, the Leatherby Libraries is available and ready to help. Here are a few resources that will help you get through the remainder of the semester.

Despite remote instruction, research must go on. Librarians at Leatherby Libraries are available to support your research needs wherever you are. You can schedule a one-on-one virtual meeting to discuss research or you can even schedule a virtual library instruction section with your entire class.
