Course Reading Materials - Open Sessions

In response to recent concerns surrounding course reading materials, the University Libraries in cooperation with the Kaneb Center is offering a series of short (30 min.) presentations covering our course reading materials services and how they can support your pedagogical goals while reducing costs for your students. We will demonstrate library services (such as electronic reserves, custom created pages of library resources, and direct links to electronic journal articles), how to take advantage of these services, and then how to integrate them into your course presentation methods such as Concourse, web pages, email, etc.

Some highlights of what will be covered:

1. Electronic Reserves - a service where the library digitizes and links to content we subscribe to based on faculty selected readings.
2. Online Resources - custom created web pages of resources relevant to your courses, direct links to online articles, etc.
3. Getting Your Students to the Materials - integrating our services in Concourse, email, or other methods you use for course material distribution.
4. How to Request Customized Services from the Libraries
