We know you miss the library – so we created a gallery of images perfect for desktop or Zoom backgrounds.
If you’ll be teaching over Summer term, submit your Course Reserves soon.
The Library Services Review Board (LSRB) met last week to discuss digital collections, the library’s services during remote learning (slides here), and a new card deck tool to help you with your research. If you’re interested in sharing your thoughts about the library, RSVP at the LSRB research guide and we’ll let you know about the fall meeting: https://guides.library.oregonstate.edu/lsrb.
