With many classes working at least partially online, the Carl B. library has created a guide to commonly asked questions about accessing library resources.  The great majority of our digital content -- databases, ebooks, etc. -- will be available to any current Cobber or instructor with internet.  If you encounter problems accessing articles or ebooks, check out the following to troubleshoot and then contact a librarian if you would like additional help.
