Data Management Planning

Book a Consultation

We provide individualized, one-on-one support for data management planning. You can book a consultation with our librarian, David Rachlin. Data Management Planning can be useful for storing and sharing research data with the wider research community. Moreover, many federal and private funding agencies require that all grant applications include a data management plan.

Open Educational Resources

Transition from using high-cost textbooks to quality open educational resources.

Adopt OER in Your Courses

Open educational resources (OERs) are educational materials available in the public domain or with an open license. These can be used as an alternative to costly textbooks. OERs can save students money and reduce the cost of higher education. OERs may include, but are not limited to, the following: textbooks, learning objects, syllabi, video, audio, tests, assignments, lecture notes, etc.
Course adopted texts (CATs) are library licensed ebooks that are used by faculty in place of a traditional textbook. CATs must be licensed for unlimited simultaneous users to ensure that all students in the course can access the text.
