PolyU staff and students can recommend specific book titles to the Library. As an interim measure, staff and students can request the Library to acquire an e-version, if available for institutional access, even when a print copy is available in the Library.
To facilitate the production of online teaching materials, staff can make use of the 5 studios available at the Multimedia Commons (3/F North Wing). Check out the pages below to learn more.
For enquiries, please contact Technical Support Desk at 2766-6909.
Resource List provides students with easy access to reading materials prescribed by instructors right inside the Learn@PolyU course page, including books, readings and other online resources.
Add your teaching materials to Resource List so students can access them all in one platform. Refer to our step by step guide to learn how to do this.
Alternatively, send your reading list to the Library by filling out the Recommend Course Readings & Reserve Books form. We will help create a list for you.
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are digital materials freely and openly accessible for educators, students and self-learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning and research.

The University encourages the inclusion of OER materials in teaching to enrich students' learning experience. The Library has developed an OER portal that allows you to discover OERs in your subject discipline. |

You may also add OERs to Resource List so students can access all teaching materials in one page. Refer to our step to step guide to learn how to do this. |
