Open Educational Resources (OER)

Lakeshore is committed to making college as affordable as possible for students. We have a Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) program on campus where faculty eliminate textbook costs for their courses by offering open and free alternatives, such as Open Educational Resources (OER).

Visit our OER Guide for Open Source materials, tutorials, and more!

Library Instruction & Orientation

Information Literacy is our Specialty! As librarians, our expertise lies in research and the critical evaluation of information. We want to work with your students to help them find the information they need and build information literacy skills that will help them be discerning consumers and producers of information throughout their studies and beyond.

Visit the Library

What will my class do at the library? We have options...

1. “Hunt” around the Student Resource Center to introduce students to space and services (10-15 min)
Typically first 2-3 weeks of term. Email library@gotoltc.edu for more info. Learn about:

  • Where to access Academic Support, Peer Tutoring, and Technology Support

Students Learn:

  • How to find and evaluate reliable sources, such as peer-review articles 
  • How to search for books, e-books, videos, news articles, current events, etc.
  • How to incorporate their sources into their assignments using proper citation and attribution 

In Class / Virtual Research Sessions

What? A 30-60 minute class session tailored to the research needs of your specific students! We can collaborate to focus in on your students' research needs and assignments. Here are some times I usually drop in: 

  • Rolling out a big research assignment? I can show your students where to find sources relevant to their topic
  • Noticing your students struggle with common aspects of information literacy - such as finding sources, using information that is biased or unsubstantiated, or citing improperly? I can help with all these things!
  • Having a research work day? I can pop in to be available for questions! 

Where? I can visit your classroom in person or pop in to your synchronous virtual session

How? Just send me an email at library@gotoltc.edu!
