Open Access: Faculty Guide to Open Educational Resources - OER

Through the library you have access to thousands of ebooks that are available for students to access.  To locate ebooks, search the Omni Catalogue and limit your search to "Available Online" and "Books and ebooks".  You can also select the "Open Access" filter to narrow to open access resources only. 

Through the library, you have access to thousands of journals. Many databases have an open access search limiter.

Usually, when we want to save or share a URL we think of two simple words: copy and paste. However, linking to the Library's subscription-based materials isn't always so simple.

Some of the Library's online content produces URLs that change from session to session, meaning that the URL found in the address bar of your web browser may only work for a short time.

Fortunately, there are solutions that will allow you to create durable and shareable links to the Library's online materials. Please check this guide for information on how to turn an unreliable URL into a static one that will work anywhere (including off-campus) and anytime.

If you require assistance in creating durable links, contact the Services Desk at (807) 343-8225.
