HCCC Libraries: Zero-Cost Textbook Initiative: Adopt OER

Adopt a Textbook

OER Starter Kit
This starter kit has been created to provide instructors with an introduction to the use and creation of open educational resources (OER). The text is broken into five sections: Getting Started, Copyright, Finding OER, Teaching with OER, and Creating OER. Although some chapters contain more advanced content, the starter kit is primarily intended for users who are entirely new to Open Education.

Embed a link for library resources

To share a library-subscribed resource with your students, please make sure the link is persistent and proxied. This can help students avoid login issues.

Add this proxy prefix before the persistent link, if the URL doesn't contain ezproxy.hccc.edu:
https://ezproxy.hccc.edu/login?url=

For example, you'd like to share a journal article with link https://www.jstor.org/stable/23353501

Then the link to share will be https://ezproxy.hccc.edu/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/23353501
