Now Available: COVID 19 - Temporary Open & Free Resources
In order to support the McGill community and it听moves听towards remote instruction & learning听during the COVID-19 crisis, many publishers are offering some or all of their e-resources freely for a period of a few months. McGill Library has put together a list of these publishers and their 鈥榦pen鈥� or freely available resources on a dedicated webpage.
Request access to essential print research materials during Library COVID-19 closure before Thursday, March 19 at noon
Update, March 19, 12:00 pm: The request period is now over.
The Library is offering a one-time retrieval service听for research print materials from all downtown libraries to members of the McGill community. Only items that can normally circulate will be retrieved.
For materials located at downtown library branches:
Access e-resources via the catalogue or Databases A-Z. E-resources temporarily unavailable via VPN.
To support McGill鈥檚 closure, the campus is making some technical changes to the VPN to allow it to scale up for a larger number of users. A side effect of these changes is that most electronic resources will not be accessible via the VPN for the time being.
All library branches closed until May1. Access to e-resources & virtual services continues.
