The Taylor Family Digital Library ( the main campus library) also has an education collection - These are more research-intensive materials, particularly suitable for major research projects you may be assigned. They are primarily found in the "L" call number range. Many titles are also available as licensed e-books which you can read online.
Distance students can borrow materials from any campus library by completing an online interlibrary loan request for an item. When it's available it will be mailed to you, along with a pre-paid return envelope.
