Course Material and Copyright Assistance for Faculty

Information Regarding Undergraduate Students

Required course materials and readings are provided at no cost to undergraduate students earning academic credit through the APUS Book Grant.

However, some software and/or lab equipment required for courses in our Electrical Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Natural Sciences, Health Sciences, and Information Technology programs are not provided through the undergraduate book grant and will need to be purchased by any student registering in those courses. Please see the course materials section of those courses for more information prior to registration.

Student inquiries can be sent to ECM@apus.edu.

All reading and resource lists must be sent to the Course Materials team, to ensure compliance and consistency.  If you're a new staff or faculty member and unsure of your program's/course's requirements, please visit this link for information or email Booklist@apus.edu for assistance.

Need to find resources for your course?  If you need assistance or will be changing up the resources in your classroom, please email Booklist@apus.edu to get the conversation started!

  • Open Educational Resources (OER) can be found on the Open Access Guide.
  • All of our journal subscriptions in the library have institutional licenses. We can usually add more licenses of existing library ebooks or acquire new ones if the cost is not too high. 
  • Please note:  If you see an ebook in the Library noted with 'your institution has unlimited access', they are part of a subscription and can be pulled from our collection without notice. If you wish to use these ebooks in your course, please make a backup copy in case the title is removed from our holdings.  Please email Booklist@apus.edu with any questions regarding these types of resources.

 

Resource Selections: Policies & Procedures

New Form!! Please submit your resource lists using the Resource/Book List Submission Form at least 45-90 days prior to the course start date of the implementation session.  Any requests submitted closer to the start date will require leadership approval. Be sure to include the title, author (when available), and URL/citation information in a Word doc and upload the listing.  If URLs are not provided, the document will be returned.

  • After the resources are reviewed for copyright and 508 compliance, an eReserve is created for approved links. The resources are broken out by week and the unique link to that eReserve can be added to your D2L/Brightspace course.  

  •  Items that are not Open Educational Resources (OER) and/or located in the Trefry Library need special consideration and will need to be approved by the School Dean and Provost.

  • This timeframe can be reduced if a required resource disappears off the Web or from our Library holdings without notice. Please email ECM@apus.edu if you encounter any broken links or missing resources.  Broken links can also be reported here.
