Faculty Workshop - Introduction to EBSCO Discovery Service Online

EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), a.k.a. Quick Search, is the library's one stop shop for articles, books, newspapers, multimedia, and more. EDS is a lot like Google Scholar but there is more control over the results and there are more features to help you with your research.

This CIA online, faculty only workshop will review basic and advanced searching, filters, understanding the results list, what is and isn't in EDS, and how to save your items to folders. Join us on September 26th from 11am to noon.

Faculty Workshop - Affordable Learning & OER at CIA (ONLINE)

Tuesday, October 10, 2023

11:00am - 11:45am

Affordable Learning Initiatives look to reduce costs for students by substituting low-cost or no-cost resources in place of high-price commercial textbooks. Examples include:

• Using existing Open Educational Resources (OER) for course instruction and/or modifying/enhancing existing resources.
• Creating OER that can be used by students you are teaching or by other instructors or scholars.
• Using library-licensed materials, including books, eBooks, and electronic journal and magazine articles for course instruction, or making use of library physical and electronic reserves. These materials have already been purchased by libraries or institutions, but are no additional cost to students.

This CIA faculty only workshop will review the options for faculty and help find ebooks, streaming videos, articles, and OERs (including grant funding!) that you can use to help reduce the cost of learning for your students, while increasing success and equity.
