Open Access Resources
The library supports the use of open educational resources in classes. Open access materials can be shared outside of class and students can continue to access these resources well after their enrollment ends. We recommend that online instructors choose open access materials whenever possible. Scholarworks is the local UMass Amherst repository of open access resources.
