EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has announced the release of EBSCO Faculty SelectTM (Faculty Select), a single interface for library staff and institutional faculty. Faculty Select makes it easy for faculty to explore Open Educational Resources (OER) and purchasable DRM-free e-books to support
their courses. The interface provides the highest quality, affordable course options that drive textbook affordability, access and usability for faculty and students alike.
Faculty Select makes it easier for faculty to search for OER content and streamlines OER discovery while providing access in one place. Faculty Select also allows faculty to search and request access to more than 150,000 DRM-free EBSCO eBooks™, in addition to DRM-free e-books from top academic publishers delivered on the publisher platform. Faculty Select enables faculty to communicate their curriculum needs to the library, allowing librarians to incorporate those needs into their e-book collection development process via GOBI® or EBSCOhost® Collection Manager (ECM).
EBSCO Information Services Vice President of Product Management for Books, John Brennan says the new site enables libraries to support textbook affordability for faculty and students.
The Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA) Director Anne Osterman says Faculty Select helps librarians better coordinate with faculty and better support curriculum needs and student success.
