Course Materials & Reading Lists

Library staff are currently working from home without access to our physical collections. If you require scans of chapters, we will not be able to provide those for the start of classes and it will take some time to complete such requests when staff return to work on campus.

For Instructors

For Students

Course materials and reading lists are available through the Course Materials and Reading List Service or through your courses in eClass.

If you are having trouble accessing course materials. Please Ask Us for help.

Other Resources for Instructors

Library staff can help you identify library materials, or alternative sources of course material that is both online, and no-cost or low-cost to students.

Alternatives to print textbooks include:

  • Open Educational Resources: we can search for open online textbooks, and provide you with a list of high quality options that are free to use and share.
  • Ebooks and other online resources that are already in our collection: including ebooks, reference sources and articles in online databases. Most of these have no limits on the number of users that can access them.
  • Purchase materials on demand: if we do not currently own an ebook version, we can investigate purchasing titles for our collection.

Consult a Librarian

Librarians can advise about assigning online library resources, such as ebooks, articles, and streaming film and music.
