While for the well-being of ourselves and others we are physically isolated, access to libraries is more important than ever.

In response to the closure of physical library spaces around the world, the following are newly created, exceptionally available, and underrecognized open resources for your learning, teaching, and research in a Covid-19 world.

Upon request, student workers, library staff, and other university staff are available to review content for accessibility, create accessible PDFs, identify permalinks to library-provided digital content, generate complete citations, and consider other online classroom support, such as Canvas and Zoom. For more information or to request help, please visit our guide: Teach Anywhere.

HathiTrust’s Emergency Temporary Access Service (ETAS) is temporarily providing Tulane students, faculty, and staff with online reading access to 46% of Howard-Tilton Memorial Library's print book collection, including copyrighted works.  Normally, HathiTrust's collaborative collection of digitized works duplicates access to about 26% of the library's holdings.  The expanded access has been activated because of the library's temporary closure.
