I just checked the Redshelf list of eligible colleges and it looks like most of our colleges are included. It requires students to create an account, and identify their school (Skagit Valley College did appear) and apparently it knows if it's an employee or
a student email address (I could create an account with my student email, but not my faculty email address). They can then add up to 7 titles to their "Bookshelf." Depending on the titles, portions of the book may be copied or printed (for example, Bittinger's
Pre Algebra says 20% can be printed), so we may want to suggest that they save printing and/or saving options for the readings that occur in the latter part of the quarter.</div>

In just the past 2 days, a bunch of publishers have been announcing that they'll be *temporarily* making a bunch of textbooks and ebooks available online for free.<br>
<br>
Our Reserves folks are using Alma Analytics to report on our most heavily-used reserves, and then checking publisher websites to find out if students can get those textbooks for free online. Maggie Argiro (Circ Manager at South) says many of our textbooks
are now available via a publisher platform called RedShelf.<br>
<a href="https://studentresponse.redshelf.com/">https://studentresponse.redshelf.com/</a><br>
<br>
McGraw-Hill, Pearson, and Cengage are other textbook publishers that we know are making some textbooks temporarily available for free.<br>
<br>
As we find these, we're saving direct links into a shared spreadsheet.<br>
<br>
We plan to share some of these links with instructors directly. We're also considering adding ultra-brief bib records and portfolios for these temporarily-free online textbooks to Alma where we can (and deleting them after all this is over). We'll be working
on this more next week and I can share what we come up with to this list if it would be helpful.<br>
<br>
It will be ok!<br>
