Library Services for Distance Courses

Class Instruction

Library instruction using, either webcasted demonstrations or live online sessions, to introduce research resources that your students may find useful to complete their assignments. The importance of citation and avoiding plagiarism can also be highlighted in these sessions.

Research assistance / virtual reference

We can assist students via e-mail, telephone, IM and chat, in using databases and selecting search terms to retrieve relevant articles.

Accessing other libraries
Within Canada, an ASIN/CURBA Card will allow in person borrowing privileges at most university libraries. Please note that these privileges do not include permission to access remotely other institutions’ article/research databases.

Document Delivery

For students and faculty living at a distance from a Nova Scotia academic library, the MSVU Library will assist in accessing print materials (journal articles and books) held at the MSVU Library and/or in providing document delvery for journal articles not held in our collection.
