It’s now easier than ever to access essential Hunt Library resources in Canvas! Embry-Riddle students now have easier access than ever to Hunt Library resources. In your Canvas courses, look for the Hunt Library link in the navigation menu.

You can now access EagleSearch, research guides, Ask a Librarian, and more, all from the comfort of your Canvas course.

We look forward to seeing Eagles level up their research with the Hunt Library resources!

Want to stay ahead in a world shaped by AI? The Division of Academic Innovation with the assistance of the Hunt Library has launched Generative AI Foundations, a mini-course designed to help ERAU students build essential AI literacy skills. You’ll learn how generative AI works, explore its ethical and practical applications, and understand how to use it responsibly in ERAU courses.
