For the past few months, we has been pleased to provide access to resources made open by database providers in response to the COVID health crisis.
Now that most of those resources have reached their expiration date, we will be removing the Open Resources and changing it back to host only ongoing trials of potential new databases or resources.
Should more resources be offered in the future, we will make sure to post them so that students, faculty, and researchers can make use of the best resources available.
The Virtual Reference Desk will be closed Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
We will reopen with regular hours at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 5.
