LIBRARY OFFERS FACULTY SELECT
Utilize Open Education Resources to help drive textbook affordability and access Over the course of a year, the average college student spends more than $1200 on books and materials (College Board, 2019). EBSCO’s Faculty Select allows faculty members to directly support textbook affordability efforts. By leveraging free open materials and low-cost librarylicensed resources, faculty can transform their courses and reduce the cost burden for students. Through a single interface, faculty can search and access quality open textbooks, Open Educational Resources (OER), and request access to unrestricted library e-books from top academic publishers. Moreover, because Faculty Select consolidates Open Educational Resources (OER) in one database, it saves faculty
time searching and collating materials from numerous OER platforms. Accessing the Database Faculty Select can be access on the Services for Faculty section of the library’s website. Questions? For additional information about Faculty Select, contact Donald Martin at dvmartin@southern.edu. A librarian can work with you to provide individual or group training on this database.
