Library Reserves for Spring 2021

[Mark Mastrean]

Dear Faculty,


In planning for the Spring 2021 semester, we urge you to submit your
requests for Library Reserve items as soon as possible. We have found
ordering and shipping is taking a bit longer than usual.

*Please submit your reserve requests here: *
https://forms.gle/EB3SD388iy7ejBmQ7

We accept donations of course texts; or, you can choose to provide personal
copies that will be returned to you at the end of the semester. For either
of these options you can bring your books to Feinberg Library's
second-floor Service Desk. Please note that, should the library close
during the semester, reserve items likely would not be available.

*If you are looking for alternatives to traditional textbooks:*

First, we strongly urge you to consider the option of free *Open
Educational Resources* (OERs); these include textbooks and other resources.
View our online library guide on OERs for links to collections and a wealth
of information about these important resources and how to use them. See:
https://researchguides.plattsburgh.edu/oer

Instead of textbooks, you may want to use resources such as book chapters,
articles, or videos from our library’s databases. Find directions for
directly linking to them from your Moodle course here:
https://researchguides.plattsburgh.edu/urls

*If you are using a traditional textbook,* you may want to contact the
publisher to see about special offers or online access for your students.

*If you will be providing copyrighted materials *in your course, please
review our summary of Fair Use Guidelines:

As always, don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Thanks,

Jennifer Bleaux
