The Cincinnati State Library provides students and faculty with access to over 100,000 e-books, 11,000 streaming videos, and millions of articles across 80 research databases. While these materials are not openly licensed, they can all be embedded in Blackboard and accessed by students with a current student ID# FOR FREE on or off-campus. Most of our electronic resources are not owned in perpetuity, so you will want to verify that the content is still accessible each semester. You may want to explore the library's collection to see if we have holdings that work for your course either on their own or in conjunction with OER.
For more information on locating library materials or integrating resources in Blackboard, please see the Library's Faculty Guide.
If you have questions about OER or the resources listed in this guide, please contact:
