Doucette Library Supports and Collections
Faculty and Instructor Supports
Your subject librarians are here to support faculty and instructors with their teaching and research needs.
Librarians support:
- General and tailored library instruction sessions,
- Consultations,
- Course material support,
- Library guides, and
- Research-focused collection development.
For more information about the types of teaching and learning supports available visit the Faculty Teaching Support service page and reach out to your subject librarian. For other available library supports, visit the Faculty Services page.
Note: We no longer offer collection-focused instruction.
Course Material Services
Libraries and Cultural Resources offers additional services to support faculty and instructors with their course materials.
Reading List Service
The Reading List Service uses a tool to simplify the creation and access to course reading lists. The Reading List Service enables instructors to add materials from different sources into one reading list such as the library’s collections, OER repositories, databases, websites, videos, bookstores, and more. Lists can also be organized by weekly readings or all together. Once launched, students can access their readings directly from their course in D2L.
View the Reading List Service Guide to learn more and connect with support staff.

OER by Discipline Guide: University of Calgary
https://doi.org/10.55016/OEA/UCoer3
This guide is a reference tool faculty can use to find quality OER in their discipline through pre-curated lists of OER organized according to UCalgary's faculties, departments, and subjects. The OER within this guide have been evaluated or adopted by faculty, librarians, and other relevant parties across Canada. The LCR OER Support Team updates this guide periodically as new resources are identified, evaluated, adopted, and created at UCalgary.
Students may also find this guide useful for their studies as it includes discipline-specific OER along with more general writing, citation, research, and academic success support.

Open Course Materials Matching Service (OCoMMS)
https://libguides.ucalgary.ca/guides/ocomms
The Open Course Materials Matching Service (OCoMMS) saves teaching faculty and instructors time searching for OER as we will do the searching for you. The OER Support Team will conduct the search to find potential OER that fit the course materials needs within a course. Following our search, we will provide a curated list of potential OER for requestees to evaluate for potential adoption into their course. This service can be used for established courses, as well as, new courses and programs.
Visit the Open Course Materials Matching Service (OCoMMS) Guide to learn more.
