Good news: In response to the situation, some publishers have made more of their ebook collections available to libraries. Therefore, you will be able to get even more ebooks.

How to find them? Use Google or Google Scholar. The ebooks that are suddenly now available will NOT be in the JHU catalog, so just look for them any way you want to — put in some search words or a book title, and go from there.

What about journals? We haven’t heard much about more journal content becoming available. But please remember that the easiest way to find what YOU have access to is this:

Library home page –> Articles and Databases –> Click the tab for GOOGLE SCHOLAR: when you do your search, this will show you the links for FINDIT@JHU, even if you are not logged into anything — NOTE: Usually, you would click on the FINDIT link to take you to a page that will show you ALL of the ways to get full text. But for now, you should FIRST click the article title, because the article may be one of the ones that’s suddenly available but not in our catalog.

Big news: As of June 29, you can request and pick up library books. REQUEST buttons will reappear in the library catalog; things you request will be delivered to any of the available libraries, checked out, and made available for you to pick up. Details are on this page (scroll down to “Book Request Service”).

If you have any questions about any of this, please send a note to [email protected].
