Library Services During COVID-19 Response
In alignment with FHSU's COVID-19 Response, the library building will be closed until further notice.
Ask a Librarian online research help, limited interlibrary loan services, and other electronic resources are still available while the building is closed.
Please view more details below and follow us on social media for regular updates.
Accessing Library Materials
- Search for Electronic Resources using the Search Everything tool on the library homepage. Be sure to select the "Full Text Online" filter in your results to limit your results to only see what's available electronically. This strategy searches the library catalog and multiple databases.
- Research Databases allow you to search directly in a subject-specific or resource-specific database for more targeted searching. All of this content is available electronically with your TigerNetID.
- Special Collections and Archives provide access to digitized materials through Forsyth Digital Collections, and Archives Online.
- Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is operating with limited service only fulfilling electronic delivery (articles, ebook chapters, etc.) and document delivery requests. You can request up to 50 pages from Forsyth Library's physical materials to be scanned and delivered to your interlibrary loan account using the ILL platform. Requests for physical materials are not being processed.
- Due Dates for books can be renewed online through My Library Account.
Research Help
- Ask a Librarian services will continue to offer research help during daytime, evening and weekend hours via chat, email, and scheduled Zoom meetings. (Please note: the phone method of contact is not available during the building closure.)
- Library research tutorials and subject and course guides are available to support research on your own time.
- Teaching and Instruction can be arranged for virtual delivery. Librarians can work with you on a desired virtual format and content for instruction.
- Consult this copyright guide and flowchart for an overview of the TEACH Act and Fair Use factors, two of the most common copyright exceptions. Please contact us if you have any questions about appropriate use.
