BCTC Library

The BCTC Librarians as part of the OER workgroup, are here for you if you need help with navigating the OER landscape! We can help you explore various options available. A good companion to OER can be the use of library resources in your classes.

We can help you to deep link to library articles and books, to include as valuable resources for your students. We also can provide support by creating course guides you can embed in your classes, which can include subject area OER or library resources that are available to BCTC students.
