We have prepared a few items to help you navigate these thorny issues:

  2. Anything Goes? (infographic)
  3. Copyright, Not Copywrong (infographic)
  4. Copyright Quick Guide (infographic)

OERs provide low or no cost alternatives to traditional publications for use in the classroom. These documents will assist you as you explore OER resources and consider adoption for your classes. Please feel free to contact Connie Ghinazzi or your liaison librarian if you have any questions.

Physical Reserves & Moodle

Faculty members may choose to place books and videos on physical reserve for student use. These items may be checked out at the 2nd floor circulation desk. Most materials are available for either 2- or 4-hour check out and must be used in the Library/Brew areas of the Gerber Center.

Additional supplemental readings are typically placed on Moodle, the course management system which Augustana uses. If you are unsure about parameters for what can be placed on Moodle, please refer to our Moodle Quick Guide or to the Augustana College Copyright Policy. To access these materials:

  1. Go to moodle.augustana.edu.
  2. Log in using your Augustana username and password.
  3. Click on the course (listed under "My Moodle").

If you wish to fill out the paperwork before bringing items to the 2nd floor desk, or if you plan to send the items over with a student worker, please use our reserve form.
