ºÚÁÏÉçÇø

Are you unable to identify a suitable Open Educational Resource for your course? The Alt-Text Program may be appropriate for you.

In this program, faculty work with library staff to develop a reading list comprised of resources pulled from ºÚÁÏÉçÇø Libraries’ purchased electronic collections (eBooks, electronic articles), legal online resources, and reading selections made in compliance with U.S. copyright law.

Faculty members selected for this program receive a one-time amount for working successfully with Carla Myers (Scholarly Communications Coordinator) as well as their  to identify educational resources that ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs can access for free (through the Library) that can serve as a substitute for a textbook.

The amount of funding (ranging from $25-50) will depend on the number of ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs impacted and/or the complexity of securing the identified resources.

Applications for this program are available on a Canvas site. Contact Amy Bergerson, Associate Provost and Dean for Undergraduate Education, at bergera9@MiamiOH.edu, for access to the site.
