Streaming Videos & eBooks

Library videos and books are frequently used to supplement course curricula. They are available to students for free and are easily accessible. If you are looking for a book or a video to add to your course, please don't hesitate to contact Yuliya Lef, Virtual Library Director, at ylef@coloradomtn.edu. I am always happy to look for it in our collections, explore purchasing options, and provide the best URL you'll be able to use to share it with your students.
