Please post your questions to the Discussion forum and we will answer your question as soon as possible.

Brightspace Modules for Information Literacy

We currently have several courses available for Brightspace enrollment:

Requesting Materials by Appointment

UA faculty, staff, and students can request Akron-owned library materials online and retrieve them by appointment from Bierce Library. Requestable material includes the general collections, Test Prep, Curriculum Center, and Media. 

  • University Library books can be requested through the library catalog: https://library.uakron.edu/.
  • Students can come to Bierce Library during operating hours and check out Technology Equipment.

The requested material can either be mailed to a home address, retrieved from Bierce Library’s lobby, or by appointment curbside pickup. MediaTech items cannot be mailed. Library patrons will receive a direct email about these retrieval procedures.

Items requested through curbside pickup or home delivery can be returned in the library's return drop boxes outside the building or brought to the Service Desk on the 1st floor.
