Online Learning and Teaching

This guide will support faculty, staff, and students in the transition to and practice of online (distance) teaching and learning.

Touro College Libraries Online Resources

The TC Libraries continue to maintain a deep and diverse collection of online resources for Touro students, faculty, and staff around the world. This page lists many of them, but there may be others that better fit your needs. Please contact the Libraries for more help if you do not find what you need.

Note: for these resources, you will need to log in with your TouroOne credentials when prompted, or to begin your library session by logging into TouroOne and selecting the blue library link.

Using Permalinks

Creating persistent links or permalinks ensures that your students will be able to easily access materials you find for them in our online resources. Including the proxy link will prompt Touro users to sign-in, allowing them access. That prefix looks like this:

You can also pull the permalink from Quick Search by selecting the link icon in the top right-hand corner of each listing.

Similar permalink options may be available within each database; try under "More Options" or a similar menu, or contact the TC Libraries for help.
