Knowledge gaps we are
hoping to address:
How many simultaneous users?
Navigating numerous platforms
Locating materials on a given topic
Open textbooks – open academics
At the University of Minnesota Libraries, we have created a Web site to guide instructors as they locate digital content, especially e-books, for their students and provide copyright-appropriate access on course Web sites and course management systems.
Continuing challenges:
Awareness of e-books
Copyright/license compliance
Ease of use
Changing workflow
Changing pedagogy
