Subject: Fw: Library resources for remote teaching and research

Dear Biology Department,

As you transition to online course and research, here are some important resources and updates from the MIT Libraries.


  1.  Expanded and free e-resources during COVID-19 closure: In addition to our regular e-resources, many publishers are making e-resources available for free and expanding existing subscriptions. See https://libguides.mit.edu/covid19closure-resources for the complete list.



  1.  To suggest a purchase of any ebooks or other online resources, especially those originally available as print materials, please submit your requests through https://libraries.mit.edu/suggest-purchase or contact me at crummett at mit.edu<mailto:crummett at mit.edu> directly.

  2.  Please continue sending your interlibrary borrowing requests<https://libraries.mit.edu/docs/ilb/> for articles, book chapters, and other potential e-access as usual. However, all BorrowDirect and interlibrary borrowing (ILB) loan requests are suspended for borrowing of physical materials until the Libraries re-open.



  1.  Review our tips on access to library resources off-campus at https://libraries.mit.edu/offcampus . If anyone needs troubleshooting, contact Ask Us at https://libraries.mit.edu/ask/



  1.  Theses for the May 2020 degree period may be submitted electronically in accordance with the Emergency Academic Regulations<https://facultygovernance.mit.edu/message-chair> in effect March 15, 2020. The Libraries are working with the Institute to develop new specifications, and we will post updates on the Specifications for Thesis Preparation page<https://libraries.mit.edu/distinctive-collections/thesis-specs/> when available.

All MIT Libraries (including 24-hour spaces and book drops) are closed until further notice. But I and my library colleagues will remain available remotely during the closure. You can find up-to-date information about library services at https://libraries.mit.edu/about/covid19/ .

As always, please never hesitate to reach out to me when you need help.

Stay safe and be well.

Best,
Courtney
