Question 1.6 Details

Are library collections and resources-such as catalogs, research databases, special collections, course reserves, full–text electronic journals, books, and streaming media-available online and accessible off–campus?

While some library resources will not be available online in full-text form due to copyright issues, campuses are increasingly finding means to allow limited access to specific course reserve materials and other library resources via the network.

You should find out whether such options are available and how you can access such resources.
