Danielle Evans named inaugural Affordable Learning Librarian
The Georgia Tech Library is proud to announce Danielle Evans has been named the Library's first Affordable Learning Librarian.
In this position, she will collaborate with teaching faculty, library staff, and other campus partners to promote open and affordable learning materials and access to library collections and course reserves.
Affordable learning resources and open educational resources (OER) are an important part of teaching at Georgia Tech. In the past, faculty would place print monographs and course packs on hold for students in their classes as part of the course reserves system. In the digital age however, the range of Library services has expanded to include e-books, journals, streaming media, and tutorials. As such, the Library seeks to support everyone and works to reduce textbook costs by providing best quality materials for faculty and students.
