Check for ebook availability

Instructors, before you submit your required textbooks through the UA BookStores’ textbook adoption process, check with the library to see if they’re freely available to students as ebooks. The library buys unlimited-user ebook licenses for required course textbooks whenever possible. If an unlimited-user license isn’t available from publishers (which is unfortunately often the case), the library can help you explore free/low-cost alternatives.

Learn more about free-to-use course materials. Questions? Contact Course Content Initiatives Manager Cheryl Gerken, Open Education Librarian,Cheryl (Cuillier) Casey or your librarian.
