Classes at Furman start today. If you are in Greenville, welcome back! I wanted to make sure you were aware of the resources you can access from outside of the library.
Furman subscribes to four streaming audio databases. Because we have unlimited users for each one, you can use these for course-related listening or just for fun! All require a Furman user ID and password.
