We understand that you likely have many questions about what library resources will be available to help support teaching and learning needs. Effective March 20th, 2020, the following changes affecting staff/faculty have been implemented:

• Northern College’s libraries are closed until further notice, and face-to-face service has been replaced with virtual help (Ask-The-Library), by text (705-302-1076 for college-wide), or email to your campus library technician.

• Library staff are still working to support faculty in finding the right resources to support online learning.

• Students and faculty will have the ability to request digital scans of reserve or book chapters, and possibly even the option of borrowing physical material (books & laptops), by request only, and by following some guidelines to respect social distancing. Ontario colleges libraries are applying a section of the Copyright Act to allow the digital reproduction of some resources during these extraordinary circumstances.

• If you were currently using a media format that will not work with online learning, please contact Shannon Arsenault by email (arsenaults@northern.on.ca) to discuss an alternative format. Writing help for students will still be available by request, and will be delivered through a combination of email and Blackboard Collaborate.
