Supplementary Materials
University courses often require the use of material beyond the
learning resources package. These supplementary materials are referenced
in your learning resources package and may be requested from the
AU Library or may be available through local libraries.
Digital Reading Room
The Digital Reading Room (DRR) provides
access to selected online course and supplementary resources.
AU Library Gateway
A wide range of online resources may be accessed through the Library's
Web site, including journal databases, electronic journals, electronic
books, and selected Web sites. The Digital Reference Centre provides
access to online dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, etc. The
Help Centre offers assistance with topics such as referencing sources,
using the Internet, and researching.
Videotapes/Audio Cassettes
Some AU courses include videotapes that are required viewing to
complete the course. Other courses use videotapes to enrich the
course content.
Students who
live outside of Canada should contact Athabasca University Library before
they register in a course that has an audio/visual component.
Database Access
AU Library subscribes to a number of databases that can be accessed
by AU students, faculty, and staff. A list of online resources is
provided on the Library's Web site, under the heading “Journal
Databases.”
Resources licensed for AU use will ask for identification and
user verification. A dialog box will appear in which you must type
your name and AU student number.
Using Other Libraries

Library (TAL) and the Canadian University Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement
(CURBA).
