Thanks Kelly!  I've borrowed your idea for our AtoZ list as well.

We’re adding them to our Databases – A-Z page and tagging them as COVID-19. Just started doing this project about 30 minutes ago, so literally a work in progress.

Will include link to all of these in our COVID-19 info libguide. https://libguides.eku.edu/covid-19<https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flibguides.eku.edu%2Fcovid-19&data=02%7C01%7Cbmjohns%40svsu.edu%7C92164c0f0901448c625908d7cb5d8ae6%7C550f45ff3e8342a197d970ad8935b0c5%7C0%7C1%7C637201474938650000&sdata=430HBweTD8szXdLHODAz2ERDDzjrKl8PCIlWyUZS5CI%3D&reserved=0>



Some of these are platforms and textbook resources and not traditional published eBooks. For the ones that are more traditional (Cambridge, etc.) we will temporarily add them to EDS Discovery.

I am curious as to what others are doing as well. Currently, we are updating an internal page with the opened content (some specific to our institution) for librarian outreach. If our initial remote work period continues, we will consider activating our content in our knowledgebase among other things. Looking forward to hearing from others.



Thank you,

Marianne

Hi all,



I was curious to know what other libraries are doing to facilitate access to expanded/free access to online resources provided by vendors (which we very much appreciate!) during this crisis. Our OER librarian is putting a list together in a LibGuide and we are working to make that more prominent on our website. But this falls outside the ER ecosystem that our users access to get their online materials.



Is anyone activating or updating holdings in their knowledge base, databse listing, discovery tool or library catalog? We want to take advantage of the opportunities the vendors are providing to connect our users to these resources but a lot of our capacity at the moment is being focused on managing impacts to the physical library and workplaces as our university and library transitions to online-only.



Any examples, suggestions, etc., would be much appreciated. Thanks!
