AU Library Podcast: Episode 6

Classes are online, so are we!
This episode presents AU Library online resources and information developed to support the spring online semester. This podcast episode is a bit different; we are using a new feature in Anchor called ‘record with friends’ that allows for up to five guests to record a podcast remotely. The episode is hosted by Diane Schrecker and features librarians Carrie Halquist, Ryan Carrig, and Sarah Thomas.
