The UMD Libraries provide access to millions of resources through our collections and library networks, including eBooks, print books, journal articles, and streaming videos. Our Top Textbooks and Course Reserves programs make it easy for instructors and students to access and share course materials.
Library resources aren't usually openly licensed, so you can't modify them for your classroom context. However, they're considered affordable course materials because students don't have to purchase them separately. They can be a great way to supplement open or commercial course materials.
