Study.Net Access Problems (Online Course Readings) - Update (3/16/2020 9:00am)

We have been notified that our provider for electronic access to Harvard Cases and other licensed material (Study.Net) has been subject to a web attack.  The problem (from what we have been told by officials at the company) has been resolved and we expected access restored yesterday the 15th. It may not be fully up until later today (March 16th).

We will be getting files to post in Canvas in the interim and hope to have that done on March 16th.

In the meanwhile, if you have any questions or concerns, please write to us at kresge_learn@umich.edu.

Textbooks for Change Book Drive

Tashia Marie Munson on behalf of Library Operations Outreach

The library is once again participating in an end-of-semester book donation drive with the organization Textbooks for Change, in a collaboration with the organization's campus student ambassador Emma Smith. (Note: This campaign is unrelated to U-M Library's existing contract with Better World Books.) The goal of this drive will be for student donations to provide affordable and accessible educational material to local and global students in need. Students will be able to donate their used textbooks until the end of the semester at the following library locations:

• Shapiro Undergraduate Library, 919 University Ave S
• Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library, 913 University Ave S
• Fine Arts Library, Tappan Building, 519 State St S, room 260
• Music Library, Earl V. Moore Building, School of Music, Theatre and Dance, 1100 Baits Dr
• Art, Architecture, and Engineering Library, Duderstadt Center

There are also drop boxes located at the School of Social Work and in Dow. Additional information about the Textbooks for Change can be found on their website, textbooksforchange.com.

If you have any questions or notice the drop boxes are filled past capacity, please contact the Library Operations Outreach Team at libraryoperationsoutreach@umich.edu.
