In the event you miss some class sessions as a result of the flu, you can stay on course by continuing to use the online resources available through Healey Library. 

Logging in using your last name and barcode, you can access from home, while you rest, any of our 75,000 electronic journals or 50,000 electronic books; or, for direct assistance, contact a reference librarian for research suggestions to help you stay on course with your term projects and assignments.
