OK, break it down for the dumb one here (no, not Dad W.)…What exactly does this mean? Are you moving to Ann Arbor? I’m confused!?!?

In order to continue research, I need access to an online academic library. This gives access to professional journals and other publications that require membership or subscription carried by large organizations and universities.
Michigan, like many other universities, offered help to students and I contacted them (as an alumnae) to see how/if they could help me. They have been more than helpful. At this point, all my contact with the university is virtual. However, they are proving to be such a class act — and Tulane is proving to be such a darn disappointment — that who knows what will happen. Granted, Michigan is an up and functioning university, but to have them actually trying to provide assistance to me individually is showing a level of attention that I (nor any doctoral student that I know of) is getting.
