8 Lowering Course Material Costs and Increasing Instruction Accessibility through the Libraries

Introduction

In this session, you will learn a variety of ways the Libraries can support your instruction. Presenters will focus on obtaining low- or no-cost course materials (e-books, streaming media, chapter scans, and OER) that are accessible to the entire class, recording lectures in the Video Production Studio via Lightboard, and working with Subject Librarians to provide students with course-specific instruction on library research tools and methods.
