S10 - e-Books as Course Materials: Demonstrating Value with “Free” Textbooks
Conference Track
5. User Experience
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to identify e-books that have licensing terms that are most beneficial for course use, match course materials with titles available to the library, promote an e-textbook initiative, and evaluate the libraries’ role in provided course-related textbooks.
Abstract
The LSU Libraries e-textbook initiative provides students free access to required textbooks through our website. The Libraries identifies required textbooks that are available in the e-book collection, then adds them to a searchable web page. This session will describe our program and how you can implement one at your university.
