Greetings, Coyotes!
Welcome to Summer 2026! We are happy you’re here!
In these quiet summer days, our library team is here for you, wherever “here” is for you! Ask a Librarian service is a wonderful place to begin. You have options to chat, phone, or text. There is even a service to chat with a librarian from one of our partners around the globe if you need help after hours! It’s even available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. If you need more time to discuss your questions and projects in depth, you can schedule an appointment, in-person or virtual. Our team is here to help you be successful and de-mystify our wonderful resources.
We’ve got great electronic resources that you can check out wherever you are as long as you have your Coyote ID. Here’s just a few to give you an idea:
- Swank Digital Campus 1000. Streaming video; the top 1000 most requested films from SWANK Digital Campus. Includes popular theatrically released movies as well as documentaries.

From Black-owned newspapers to mainstream news publications, BLIA offers a window into African American history, culture, and daily life—as well as the ways the dominant culture has portrayed and perceived people of African descent. Includes Series 1: 1704-1877, Arrival in America through Reconstruction. Series 2: 1878-1975, Jim Crow through the Civil Rights Movement. Series 3: 1976-present, Black History Month to Today.
