We are currently dealing with over 80 vendors of digital content for our students. If a faculty decides they want a student to purchase a textbook, that's arranged through the bookstore and the student is required to purchase the textbook. We have nothing to do with that. In the case of faculty wanting supplementary material, or to create a digital course pack using the resources the library has paid for by sending the students to different articles, journals, newspapers, and even e-books, they have that option now. They can browse our library catalogue, and they will find resources they need.
In the case of many of the college libraries, we have directional resources. We call them subject guides. If the student is learning about biology or chemistry, we might have a subject guide that sends them to the databases that contain the articles that would be relevant for their course. This is available for both faculty and students.
In addition to that, there are more and more committees springing up across the college library communities around open educational resources and open access, as encouraged by eCampusOntario.
