How to do it : a suggested pathway
- Select early! A great rule of thumb is to do textbook selection before registration for that semester begins. This means March for Fall, and October for Spring.
- Determine what kind of materials you'd like your class to use. Do you prefer sets of readings, or to have a textbook framework that students move through?
- Use the Library catalog to determine what licensed materials (eBooks, eTextbooks, articles, films) are available to use as both core textbooks, and ancillary reserves materials.
- Share the link to the library catalog record in Canvas to ensure off-campus access to students. Include this link in your syllabus as well.
- Use Faculty Select to find eBooks that the Library may not yet offer - preview, select, and order the eTextbook.
- If interested in OER, use Faculty Select, Project Merlot and other directories to find applicable content.
- Determine if you want to remix OER content or use what's provided.
