Open Educational Resources

Librarians can help you with the following:

• FIND: Help find OER resources for your classes
• EDUCATE: Presentations about OER
• ADVISE: Inform faculty about digital formats and copyright issues
• COLLECT: Add OER information to the library catalog and/or to a library guide

In addition to helping you find OER, librarians can help you utilize library subscribed resources:

• E-Books
  • The library subscribes to various e-book platforms. Access to these is free to students and they can be integrated into Blackboard and/or a specialized library guide. 
• Databases
  • Articles from our databases can be assigned as reading for courses. Shareable links can be posted for students to access individually. 
• Reserve Items
  • Place a textbook or other item on reserve at the library. Set the check out time (2 hours, 4 hours, 1 day, etc.) and students can check out items with the student ID card.
