Welcome to Archer Library & the IRC

What will I find in this Guide? This course guide features Instructional Resource Center and AU Library collection resources including math curriculum textbooks, activity books, and materials kits, selected resources in the juvenile collection, general information for using OneSearch with recommended library database links, and resources for copyright and plagiarism.

How do I use this guide? There is no wrong way to use the page. Select a tab at the top of the page to view the available resources. Several of the tabs, such as Juvenile Books: Math, have additional information presented via a drop down menu.

Working Off Campus? If you are working off-campus, database access requires authentication prior to use; these resources are available only to AU students, faculty, and staff. To authenticate, you will be required to enter your name and 7 digit ID number. For help with the authentication process, view the library's Connecting from Off Campus web page or the IRC FAQ page for additional information (How do I authenticate from off campus?).

Questions? Ask the IRC Chat is available during regular IRC hours. The widget will open automatically after a few seconds, you may choose to ask a question or close the chat window. If chat is not available, click on the Ask the IRC button and you will be directed to the IRC FAQs page; search the knowledge base for frequently asked questions about the Instructional Resource Center, or search the full library FAQs page.
