As with any college course, you may need to do research for your online courses. There is a wealth of information available online to assist you in your research tasks. And, of course, you may make use of the libraries that are available to traditional students.

This page gives you links to libraries and resource centers throughout the state. In addition to meeting your research needs, local libraries and resource centers often have facilities available for test proctoring (supervision), which you may need for your online courses.
