Services

All of the library's online journal articles, ebooks and other electronic resources are fully available to students off campus.   Students can access these resources at any time using their Meredith user ID and password. Instructions on accessing these resources can be found in the library's FAQ. 

Articles and chapters from the library's print materials can be electronically delivered to students in distance learning programs.  If entire books are needed, these can be delivered by mail. Use these request forms to make your requests.

The library's online Research Guides provide a curated selection of the resources most useful to particular courses and majors, along with contact information for that subject's liaison librarian.

Students in distance learning programs can make full use of the library's Interlibrary Loan service.  The library will provide access to materials requested from other libraries either electronically, or through the mail.

Librarians are available to assist with research and answer questions about library collections and services.   When the Ask Desk is staffed, librarians are available by chat and by phone;  outside of desk hours, librarians can be reached by email.  Liaison librarians are also available for extended research consultations by appointment.  These can be conducted either by phone or by a video conference using Meredith's subscription to Zoom.

Librarians can deliver research instruction to online classes, either synchronously in Zoom or asynchronously using online presentations and videos. If you are a faculty member interested in library instruction for your online class, please contact your department's library liaison.
