    This guide helps tutors select online resources for students by addressing common problems. It advises consulting the academic liaison librarian for guidance on providing electronic resources. While some ebooks are available for individuals, libraries may not be able to purchase them, so it's important to check availability. Not all ebooks allow simultaneous access by all students due to publisher restrictions. The library can digitize chapters or portions of books without restrictions and tutors can consider compiling resources from multiple sources. Ejournals typically don't have the same access restrictions as ebooks and tutors can link directly to subscribed content through reading lists.

    Selecting resources for online

    learning: a guide for tutors


    For online modules it is essential that resources you recommend are available
    in electronic formats, such as ebooks or ejournals. This guide will help you to
    avoid common problems when selecting resources and ensure that your
    students have access to the resources that they need.

    Consult your Academic Liaison Librarian

    1
    Your department’s Academic Liaison Librarian can advise
    about how to provide online resources for your students. Find
    their details via your department’s Subject Guide:
    subjectguides.york.ac.uk

    Ebooks for individuals ≠ ebooks for libraries

    2
    Many publishers make their books available electronically for
    individuals, but not always in a form which libraries can
    purchase. Check with the Library as soon as possible to be
    sure books you want to recommend can be bought as ebooks.

    Not all ebooks were born equal

    3
    Where an ebook is available for libraries to buy, be aware that
    sometimes the publisher will restrict access. You can not
    therefore assume that all students will be able to access the
    book simultaneously. The Library can advise about this.

    Consider digitising a range of chapters

    4
    The Library can digitise one chapter or up to 10% of most
    books for a reading list, with no access restrictions. Consider
    choosing individual chapters from multiple sources to create
    a bespoke collection in the reading list.

    Link to ejournals in your reading list

    5
    Ejournals, unlike ebooks, have few access restrictions. You can
    create direct links to subscribed content through your
    module’s reading list. The Library will purchase any articles
    which are not already covered by our subscriptions.
