As your Library liaison, I can introduce you to the library's resources and services, and I can provide research help and library instruction for you and your students. This library guide highlights a variety of library resources for Brandeis Online students and instructors. I've outlined additional sources for faculty on this page. Please contact me to discuss your teaching needs!

Visit the library homepage to search across our catalog and many of our electronic sources. We have more than 250 databases covering a wide range of academic disciplines. (Need help finding something? Email me! Or make an appointment!)
Course Reserves are materials, including online resources such as ebooks and streaming media, that faculty members and instructors can ask the Library to make available for class reading and coursework. Course Reserve materials are searchable in OneSearch by course number or instructor name, so that students can easily find the readings for their classes. Faculty members and instructors may make requests via the Course Reserve Request Form.
Note: If your students are having problems accessing a particular title, please contact us for further assistance. Our team can provide guidance on how best to link library materials in the learning management system (LMS), and we can explore options like purchasing additional licenses.
If we don't have the ebook or online resource you need for your class, we can probably get it! Just place your request using the same Course Reserve Request Form you'd use for an item we already have. If we don't have it, we'll see if it's available for purchase.
If you want to link to library materials from our online Learning Management System, the best way to do so is by using the "permalink" found in the OneSearch record. This will ensure that students are always prompted to log in, and they will be able to access the materials even if they are off-campus.
Here's to find the permalink in OneSearch:
We strive to build a collection of scholarly resources that support research and teaching across campus. If we don't have the resource you need, please use one of our request forms to suggest that the Library purchase it:
Note: You can also use our Interlibrary Loan & Scan on Demand service to request materials that we don't have online access to!
