Distance Learning

Falvey Memorial Library seeks to make our outstanding collection and services as accessable to distance learning students as to on-campus learners.  Our digital and electronic resources are available from off-campus, and librarians make every effort to extend research advice to distance learners via e-mail exchanges and telephone consultations.  We offer delivery of selected resources in our print collection and work with students to arrange suitable alternatives for our print materials that cannot be delivered.
