Library Intervention at Critical Points in Time

List

  • Scholarly Communication and Copyright Resources

    Scholarly communication refers to the complex system of creation, dissemination, and use of the products of scholarship, both formal and informal, and the social, legal, and economic issues and pressures at play on the system. Copyright is a legal regime that heavily informs the scholarly communication system, and which students, faculty, and staff all participate in as both creators and consumers.

  • Open Educational Resources (OER)

    Open Educational Resources (OER) are "teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others" (Hewlett Foundation). OER and related practices are an approach to overcoming cost and reuse barriers to the benefit of students and instructors.

  • Interlibrary Loan

    Interlibrary Loan (ILL) can be used to borrow library materials or obtain copies of articles or book chapters currently not available from KU Libraries, or not owned by the KU Libraries. Through cooperative agreements, participating libraries share their collections with students, faculty, and staff from other libraries.
