Library Resources for Students & Faculty
American College of Education is committed to providing the best university-level library resources and services for its students and faculty. As a fast-growing online college, ACE supports all academic programs with digital books, full-text journals, and online multi-media resources through its library. The transformative technologies of the present day are making scholarly and research information increasingly available in digital formats. This availability significantly improves ways that online students and faculty can identify, access, locate, and use information anytime and anywhere.
Our professional librarians are available via live chat, text, or e-mail to assist students and faculty with library databases, to answer reference questions, and to provide interlibrary loan services for journal articles that are not found in the collection.
