Common opportunities for libraries
– Widely leverage subscription holdings to create cost
savings for students and departments
– Give faculty guidance on relevant open resources
• BUT faculty’s expectation today is that the experience must be as
easy as a Google search
– Give course creators guidance on copyright and content
issues, preparation timelines, recommended
resources/vendor services when setting up online learning
projects
– Participate in professor- or institution-created resources to
explore revenue opportunities and sustainability in online
learning
– Participate in assessment and how libraries can draw
content data back in for collections and other purposes
