OER Consultations 

Librarians at Auraria are available to meet with you to answer your OER questions or help you with projects. We can help you:

  • Search for and evaluate existing OER textbooks and teaching materials.

  • Find library licensed materials to use in your courses.

  • Embed OER or library licensed materials into your course shell.

  • Answer questions about open licenses, Creative Commons, fair use, and copyright.

  • Provide resources to help you adapt, remix, or create OER.

  • Host OER in the Auraria Library Institutional Repository.

Course Reserves and Library-Licensed Materials

 

We understand that OER materials do not exist for every subject or learning objective you may be teaching. Putting course materials on reserve or using library-licensed eBooks and other materials is another great way to cut down on the cost of course materials for your students.

To learn more about making materials available for students to use in the library, please visit our Course Reserves page .

Auraria Library also has access to thousands of eBooks, streaming media, electronic articles, and other materials you can link to or embed in our course shell. If you’re interested in using an eBook from the library’s collection, we’re happy to consult with you on the resource to ensure it will meet your needs. (Some eBooks only allow for a single user at a time—we can work with you to determine if there are restrictions and often can arrange for unlimited access.)

Need Something We Don't Have?

If you’ve found a resource you’d like to use but the library doesn’t have access to it, please fill out the Recommend a Purchase form.

The library will work with you to obtain materials to support your teaching whenever possible.
