Open Educational Resources (OER) Information: Linking to OER and Library Resources

Open Educational Resources make linking easy!

Copy and paste the URL out of the search bar. 

Consider including multiple ways for students to access the book:

• Link to the entire book in your syllabus and in your Moodle introduction
• Link to chapters weekly when possible
• Show them how to navigate the book
• For "published" books available on sites like OpenStax, consider linking to the book's overall landing page since it often includes practice questions and other tips for using the textbook.

Want to share library resources with your students?

Please note, it won't work to copy and paste the search bar link. Instead, look for the permalink symbol when sharing library resources with your students. Sharing links, not PDFs, helps maintain compliance with our subscription licenses, accurately tracks usage, and gives you access to content updates. Plus, it’s easy!

Hiram Library's permalinks will begin with the prefix: https://login.hc.opal-libraries.org/login?url=
