Academic Support Service

As a Temple student you are provided a digital access to all of Temple University's main campus resources.

Library

The TUJ library has over 50,000 books and 300 periodicals in English. It also provides Internet access to over 3 million books and other information media stored at the main campus library. TUJ students and faculty are given full access to the on-line resources of Temple University's main campus.

Blackboard

Blackboard, a web-based platform for managing calendars, course material, and communications, is used extensively throughout the program. Our smart classrooms ensure Internet connectivity from every desk. Students have access to the on-line Temple University Library database, including Lexis-Nexis, Business Source Premier, and FIS (formerly Moody's). Many Temple University faculty use Blackboard to distribute course materials and to conduct a variety of classroom activities. Through Blackboard, you can retrieve and submit assignments, participate in discussion groups, take tests online, and use optional features such as the calendar and address book.

TUportal

TUportal gives registered students a single sign-on gateway to Temple's online services including the Blackboard Course Management System, TUmail, and the Philadelphia-based library database. TUportal also contains:

• timely announcements from the University
• a list of useful University-related links (TUlinks)
• a customizable section called My Portal that enables you to select from a list of predefined modules, such as a dictionary, thesaurus, and headlines from CNN and The New York Times.
