Publishers Providing Increased Access to Information
Because of COVID-19, more people are working, studying and researching remotely. Many publishers have decided to make some of their content freely available in light of this situation. Below is a list of publishers that have made changes to their content availability.
It is important to note that this content may not be free indefinitely. If you are a course instructor and link to one of these free resources, know that your students might come across a pay wall in the future. If you have any questions about this, please contact the library.
