Virtual Scholar's Book Fair

Thursday, March 10 

12-2 pm, Zoom. Drop in anytime.

School book fairs were much-anticipated, carnival-like events in many of our childhoods. We knew the fairs were meant to be educational, but they were so fun and exciting that we didn't care. We pored over newsprint mailers, circling things that captured our imaginations and promised significant savings. We worked to earn bookmarks or other currency to trade in for books, and our community rallied around ensuring we had access to more books both at home and in school. 

We're planning a fair of our own, the Scholars Book Fair, all about affordable course materials. This event will be virtual, but we will do our best to create that same sort of giddiness for IU instructors. The atmosphere will be playful and exploratory, featuring a range of content that ensures a more affordable education for IU students.

Topics include: 

• IU eTexts, Digital Courseware & Learning Tools 

• Open Educational Resources 

• Pressbooks and their interactive content 

• Library Resources: Unlimited Access eBooks, Streaming Video, Lib Guides, Primary Source Materials, Archives and Collections

• Virtual Reality & 3-D printing 

• Ally for Accessibility in Canvas 

• Unlocking Content: Active Reading 

Drop in via Zoom anytime between Noon - 2 pm EST on Thursday, March 10. Connection details will be sent via email with your RSVP confirmation.  

Register for the fair and sign up for a “goodie bag” to be delivered to your campus address! 

Feel free to invite a friend!  We hope to see you there!
