And check out these recent changes:
- AI Education: Want to learn about how to use ChatGPT appropriately in your classes? Visit the AI Tools and Literacy Hub. You’ll find tutorials, videos, resources, and upcoming instructional events.
- Additional seats: We’ve added 84 additional seats and some new furniture on Cooper Library’s 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors
- Interactive Floor maps: Check out our new interactive floor maps to identify where to find a book or determine what areas of the library are busiest.
- Login Changes for e-resources: All users on campus will be required to sign in using their University user ID and password and authenticate their login with Duo. In the past, the Libraries used IP-based passthrough authentication that allowed on-campus users to access e-resources without logging in. The change is being made to enhance security for the Libraries’ licensed electronic resources. Security breaches that compromise those resources could result in publishers cutting off access for the University if licensing terms are violated.
