Reading List Service

Create a Reading List using the Reading List Service. This option creates a list of all course readings and materials, including books, articles, video, Internet content, instructor resources, etc. This streamlined process facilitates automatic copyright review and enables you to submit digitization, acquisition and physical reserve requests. The Reading List is integrated directly with D2L and provides a comprehensive list of course materials for your students. This option is available under the “Tools” tab in D2L. Or if you prefer, the Copyright Office will create your list for you. Please contact copyright@ucalgary.ca with your list. If the Copyright Office has cleared the materials in the past, please provide your course information and they will create the list using the files they have on record.

Open Course Materials Matching Service (OCoMMS)

Open Course Materials Matching Service (OCoMMS) is a service available for those who are selecting teaching and learning materials for courses at the University of Calgary and are interested in using open educational resources (OER). By using this service, you can save time and effort searching for OER as the OER Support Team at Libraries and Cultural Resources can do the searching for you. The team will search for matching OER based on your course syllabus and provide a curated list for you to review for potential adoption in your course. There are many benefits to teaching with OER, including reducing cost barriers for students, 24/7 access to digital OER, flexible learning opportunities, increased student engagement, and the opportunity to customize teaching materials to better suit your course.
