S10 - e-Books as Course Materials: Demonstrating Value with “Free” Textbooks

Monday, April 4, 2016 at 10:45 AM–11:30 AM CDT
Room 105
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.
