Expanded Resources during Remote Summer Classes

During the COVID-19 outbreak publishers and database vendors across the nation temporarily opened up their resources to libraries to support the sudden pivot to remote teaching and learning at Nebraska and other universities. Casey Hoeve, associate professor, and head of content & collections for the UNL Libraries gathered the resources together by subject within a libguide called “Expanded Resource Access for Remote Research & Study During COVID-19.”

Now that the academic semester has come to a close and summer term begins, publishers are beginning to discontinue the access to many of these resources. Be sure to book mark the libguide for continued access to the additional online resources that are open. Expanded access to HathiTrust Digital Library and Internet Archive will remain.

“Publishers understood that students and faculty couldn’t go into their libraries, so this was a temporary way to open up access to collections that replaced what students couldn’t physically reach,” explained Hoeve, “We appreciated the ability to offer our students and faculty at UNL these expanded online resources during a tough situation.”

If you have feedback on any of the resources, please contact Casey Hoeve, achoeve@unl.edu or your liaison librarian.
