RETURNING MATERIALS

Please return all materials using the outside drop box located near the ramp at the front of the library.  Individuals may also take materials to another Indiana library (when this crisis is over) and request that these items be shipped for free to Wabash through our courier service.

Additional Resources:

INTERLIBRARY LOAN

The library can only request materials that can be sent electronically at this time.  This includes journal articles and book chapters.

We will do the best we can to get you access to what you need.  Search the library catalog then click the "Request Interlibrary Loan Item" button or fill out a blank interlibrary loan form.  Questions about interlibrary loan can be directed to Jessica Short (shortj@wabash.edu).

Classroom Support -- If you need access to something we cannot obtain via interlibrary loan, contact the appropriate staff below.

STREAMING VIDEOS

If you have a need for streaming video in support of your online courses, please contact Susan Albrecht (albrecht@wabash.edu).

  • Many feature films and popular documentaries are available from Swank Digital Campus  The current collection that Wabash has licensed may be accessed here:  Wabash Swank Collection
  • Many educational, foreign language, and classic film titles are available from Kanopy Streaming.  In addition to films Wabash has licensed, Kanopy has made 250+ films available for free.  Wabash’s Kanopy collection may be accessed here:  Wabash Kanopy Collection.  NOTE:  Students who have accounts with their home public libraries (or the Crawfordsville District Public Library) may also have access to significant Kanopy offerings. 
  • During the COVID-19 crisis, through the generosity of many documentary and educational distributors, other films which the library already owns in DVD format may be made available in streaming format for free or reduced cost. Please consult with Susan about individual films.
  • Susan can help determine whether and where films might be available to students online through personal streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, iTunes, YouTube, GooglePlay, etc. We recommend the JustWatch service as a great resource.  Many streaming services (including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.) are now offering a free MONTH of access.
