DECEMBER NEWSLETTER OpenAthens Will Be Here December 23rd! What this means for you: When you’re off campus you’ll access library resources with your TouroOne login credentials. Your library card will only be needed to check out physical materials from the library. All links in the TUC Library Catalog and on the Library website have been changed, but all bookmarks and links that you have saved that link directly to a library will need to be updated by you. This includes links on documents such as syllabi, and on platforms such as Canvas. Library will be sending out additional e-mails about the OpenAthens with subject line: TUC OpenAthens Implementation. Please read these e-mails for more details and specifics that you will need to know to access TUC Library eResources.
