Online/Distance Learners Library Guide

Information for students who are enrolled in online courses

Welcome!

“There is divine beauty in learning ... To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences and their quest. And so are you.” Elie Wiesel
