Open Educational Resources (OER): JCC Library Resources for OER

 

The JCC Library offers a wide variety of electronic resources that faculty may use in their classes as textbooks, required reading, and/or supplemental materials. Nearly all of our electronic resources have permanent link capability, meaning you can link to them from a Blackboard course and have students access them directly without searching for them each time they need to access them. Ebooks, journal articles, streaming films/documentaries and more are available. Consult the information below for additional information and please contact me if you would like to discuss use of library provided materials in your courses.
