Course Materials Support

Send us your syllabus to request links in Blackboard for articles, streaming videos, book chapters, ebooks and Open Educational Resources. We can even consider purchasing new items to support your teaching.

Use the Course Materials Request form for help with articles, books and films in both online and physical formats.

Online Materials in Blackboard

Add scans or links to course readings in Blackboard. University Libraries will help address any copyright issues. Requests made at least 3 weeks before classes begin receive priority.
