- The Embedded Textbook: Collaborating with Faculty to Employ Library Subscription E-Books as Core Course Text Ratto, Brooke Gilmore Lynch, Andy Academic Libraries Library Services Higher Education Textbooks Models Library Materials Resource Materials Databases Librarian Teacher Cooperation Marketing Course Content Undergraduate Students Student Surveys Feedback (Response) Integrated Learning Systems Core Curriculum Adoption (Ideas) Cost Effectiveness Delivery Systems Reliability Student and faculty frustrations with traditional higher education textbook models continue to escalate. These frustrations present an opportunity for academic libraries to forge partnerships with teaching faculty and vendors to repurpose existing library resources. Library and teaching faculty at Southern New Hampshire University collaborated to develop a textbook alternative option from subscription e-book content contained in the Books 24 x 7 database. This alternative consisted of a series of links embedded into the Blackboard learning-management system. This partnership provided students with significant financial relief, allowed students to experiment with using e-book content, and increased library resource awareness and use. (Contains 6 tables.)
