1 Putting a copy of your textbook on reserve in the library If youhave an extra copy or the publisher is willing to give you one

you can contact Becky Rockwell or Andy Kulp at the Smith Library to putthe book on reserve

2 Open Education Resources (OERs) have been improving in quality overthe past few years There is now a wide range of high quality texts inmany disciplines such as

OER Commons httpswwwoercommonsorgOpenStax httpsopenstaxorghigher-edOpen Textbook Library httpopenumneduopentextbooks

While it may not be a viable solution for every course it will be muchappreciated by students in courses where it does make sense

Infusing Writing into the Curriculum Road Map for Departments

Laurel Rodgers recently shared the work Biology is doing to infusewriting throughout their curriculum with members of our Writing in
