University of Minnesota – Twin Cities
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.
Knowledge gaps we are
hoping to address:
• How many simultaneous
users?
• Navigating numerous
platforms
• Locating materials on a
given topic
• Open textbooks – open
academics
