Resources for Faculty

Course Reserves

The Course Reserves collection provides free access to required course texts for students in both on-ground and online programs. Providing library-licensed, library purchased, or open access materials ensures equitable access to educational materials and eases students’ financial burdens. 

Online Campus

Online Campus faculty and SMEs work in conjunction with the Educational Design and Innovation department and the Online Campus librarian to select appropriate course texts and make them available to students. Course texts lists for Online Campus courses are managed by EDI and can be accessed at the link below. To correct or update information on this list, contact EDI at edi@adler.edu. 

Chicago and Vancouver Campuses

Course texts lists for on-campus programs and online courses administered by Chicago campus programs (CMHC, PHDAT) are submitted via online form to the University Library. 

When you submit your booklist to the library, the library will:

• Check whether the library has existing electronic or physical access to an item,
• Purchase unlimited access e-books or other resources if they are available for library licensing,
• Place a physical copy of required texts on reserve at the the appropriate campus library, when electronic access is not available
