Integrate Library Resouces

Integrate affordable STLCC Libraries resources in your course shell

In addition to strictly OER resources, there are a number of ways classroom faculty can supplement or replace costly course materials with resources from STLCC Libraries. Instruction librarians are available to help you find, vet, and curate resources available to all registered STLCC students through our Libraries and other institutions.

A few easily implemented examples:

Discipline-specific Library Research Guides are automatically linked in your course. Select the Library Resources folder to view them.
Faculty may place direct links to resources such as library instruction videos, a favorite database for an assignment, select ebooks, articles, or to a full text run of a journal title. Use Ask a Librarian to contact an instruction librarian for assistance.
Some of our ebooks allow for unlimited simultaneous users, making these texts perfect for affordable course textbooks. The databases listed below provide collections of books allowing unlimited simultaneous users.
