Open Educational Resources (OER) and Affordable Course Materials
This guide is intended to provide Evergreen faculty, staff, and students with resources about OER, Open Pedagogy, and other approaches to affordable course materials.
Identify which materials you want to assign in your course. Or contact us to help find materials that meet your needs.
Search the library catalog to see which materials we already own and in which formats. For electronic resources you will want to check and make sure our access is adequate, generally in terms of simultaneous users for eBooks and license during for streaming videos.
Utilize our Purchase Request Form to request materials that we don't already own. We will usually pick the best electronic option when available to best meet student need, or will get in touch if we identify cost or access issues. Please provide, at a minimum, author, title and year of pub information, or an ISBN for books.
If we can purchase resources with adequate access, great! If not, we can work with you to scan portions of books or identify other materials including eBooks, journal articles, and video resources to help meet your needs.
This guide aims to bring together all of The Evergreen State College Library's online content. It is a good place to start if you require online access to materials. In this guide, you will discover how to access electronic books, electronic journals and articles, streaming media and art, and digital archival collections available through The Evergreen State College Library, Archives, or freely on the web.
This guide lists the current course materials available through The Evergreen Library catalog. We are currently in the process of updating this for Summer 2021.
Utilizing Library Resources
