Update: Links to Library guides and Academic Writer within Brightspace classrooms, specifically in the Content >> Academic Tools area, have been restored.  Thank you for your patience while a solution was found.  

Original message:

Please note: Due to an unexpected error, the links to Library and Academic Writer listed in the Content >> Academic Tools area of every online classroom, across all courses and programs, are missing.  IT from PG and Brightspace are investigating, but there isn't an ETA on a solution yet.  We will update this post with news as it becomes available.  

In the meantime, you can lookup a course guide using our site search tool: (link)

You can also contact library staff and we are happy to help you find a course guide for a course you are taking or teaching, or locate a related subject guide.
