| University Libraries
The Libraries proudly support faculty making their courses affordable for all students. For example, the Libraries support making library-licensed e-content available to your students. We’re also ready to help you discover, use or even develop and publish your own open educational resources.
Choose a standard textbook, put a physical copy on reserve, then let your students know how to access it.
Choose a textbook or articles where the library already offers free digital access. Place the item on ‘e-reserve‘ (using Leganto) and then link to the item on your Canvas site or include a link in your syllabus.
Choose an existing Open Educational Resource, see our Finding OER page for more details.
