Open Educational Resources (OERs) are teaching, learning and research resources released under an open license that permits their free use and repurposing by others. OERs can be textbooks, full courses, lesson plans, videos, texts, software, or any other tool, material, or technique that supports access to knowledge.

High textbook costs are still barriers to student access and success. To make learning more affordable, CUC librarians are available to help faculty identify low-cost resources to embed in courses. Partner with a librarian and find the best OER for your course and improve student retention!

To request physical and electronic materials to be purchased for the Library’s collection, submit a request form.

For requesting Kanopy Titles, please read our policy before submitting a request to Liesl Cottrell.

Faculty members can request additional software be installed on library computers through the following procedure:

  2. Any available technical information to support the program must be submitted with the request at least one month prior to the start of the semester it is needed for and no additional software will be installed during a semester.
