COVID-19 Library Updates

Many book publishers and scholarly database vendors are allowing open access during the COVID-19 shut-down.  We will keep a list of the ones we think will be helpful to our university students here:

JoVE - Science Education

JoVE Science Education is a revolutionary video library dedicated to teaching scientific fundamentals through simple easy-to-understand video demonstrations.  To access: Students and faculty can access with an institutional email (swu.edu) by creating a fee account here.

National Emergency Library

The National Emergency Library is a collection of books that supports emergency remote teaching, research activities, independent scholarship, and intellectual stimulation while universities, schools, training centers, and libraries are closed

Public Books Database

With university classrooms and libraries shuttered because of the COVID-19 crisis, scholars are facing disruptions not only in their teaching lives but also in their ability to access research materials. In response, many academic presses have made hundreds of their titles freely accessible online. The Public Books Database aims to catalog such resources in a single location and to highlight titles of particular interest. We’ll be updating the list regularly as additional materials are made available.
