Library guide on using Course Works, finding textbooks and course readings

What is new for fall 2024.

Starting in Fall 2024, the University is providing textbooks in a new way. The old way (before Fall 2024) was that professors would give the Bookstore a list of textbooks. The Bookstore would buy copies of the books. Students could go to the bookstore (in person or website) to buy (or sometimes "rent") the textbooks. Students could also buy them from other websites (e.g. Amazon, etc.), find copies through the University Libraries, request them from Interlibrary Loan, or get them in other ways (or sometimes not to buy them). 

NEW IN FALL 2024

ALL Undergraduate students will be automatically enrolled in a program called Course Works COMPLETE . In theory, this program will provide ALL of the textbooks and required course readings (including coursepacks and homework access) for ALL the courses a student is taking for a fee of $279 for fall semester (this will be added to your student account). This fee does NOT include items like lab supplies like goggles, art supplies, calculators, etc. 

How can a student opt-out?

Students can opt-out of this program. In August, students will be able to view the cost of individual textbooks and make a decision if they want to opt out (e.g. if a student has few or no textbooks OR if the total cost of their books is less than $279 and they want to buy them individually). If you want to opt-out you can do it in the "Course Works tab" in Canvas by the deadline -- September 16. 

Please note: There is a *NEW* Course Works tab in Canvas . 

Getting textbooks and reading using Course Works Complete

ALL Undergraduate students will be automatically enrolled in Course Works COMPLETE .  To get access to your textbooks and readings, use the Course Works tab in Canvas  (will available in mid-August 2024) or in your individual Canvas course pages. The majority of textbooks are going to be digital or ebooks. You can access required digital content/textbooks for any course through Canvas Course Works tab or your individual Course page . 

What about print textbooks? If a course requires print materials they will be provided at the campus store. If a student simply prefers print materials, they will be available for an additional nominal cost. Students will receive a message in their umn.edu email when their materials are ready for pick up.

Disability accommodation If you need the reading in a different format due to an accommodation or if you have questions about accessibility and using digital content, please contact the  Disability Resource Center .

I have opted-out of Course Works COMPLETE -- how can I get my textbooks?

If you have opted-out of the the Course Works COMPLETE program -- you can still buy individual textbooks through Course Works Select using the Course Works tab in Canvas  OR you can buy the textbook in other ways (e.g. Amazon, etc.) OR you can work with Libraries to request materials in other ways. The Libraries are working closely with the Bookstores to automatically identify textbooks that can be made available for free through the Libraries. These textbooks will also appear on your Course Works tab in Canvas and they will be marked as "Library." Regardless of whether you use Course Works Complete or Select, or opt-out completely, library course materials will always be available for you to access for free.

Here are some steps to help: 

Step 1: Check your Canvas, your syllabus and with your instructor about exactly what textbooks and readings you might need. 

Step 2: Figure out how you want to get them -- e.g. buy a textbook via Course Works, buy a textbook from another website (e.g. Amazon) or borrow a textbook from the UMN Libraries.

Step 3: If you want to try to get them from the UMN Libraries -- go to lib.umn.edu and type in the name of the textbook in Libraries Search (If needed, check the UMN bookstore or Canvas or your syllabus to get the exact title, authors and edition). This searches all of our on campus libraries and other UMN libraries like Duluth or Morris. Check the “edition” if needed and start reading!

If we don’t have it as an ebook, we might have an print copy. If these options don’t work, you can request the book from a service called Interlibrary Loan. Fill out the online form and we will work to get it from another library.

I am having trouble reading or getting a textbook - where can I get help?

If you have trouble reading a textbook or getting access to a textbook or reading -- talk to your instructor or reach out to [email protected].

If there are required materials listed in your syllabus that you don’t see on your Course Works Shelf in Canvas, please let us know and we’ll work to get them added ASAP (once verified). Email a screenshot or copy of your syllabus showing the materials to [email protected].

If you have questions about accessibility and using digital content or need accommodation, please contact the  Disability Resource Center .

How can Graduate and Professional Students get textbooks and readings?

Graduate and Professional students are NOT part of the Course Works Complete program. Graduate and Professional students CAN buy individual titles in Course Works tab in Canvas if they choose. Or they can buy from the Bookstore or other online websites (e.g. Amazon) or work to get through the UMN Libraries as in the past. View the list of ebook textbooks available from the UMN Libraries.

Course Works, the University of Minnesota System’s comprehensive course materials program, is a collaborative effort between the University’s campus stores and libraries designed to ensure that all undergraduate students have the materials they need to succeed in their courses at the start of each semester. The program also aims to ensure that students retain choice over what materials they want, how they purchase the materials, and how they receive the materials. To learn more about the progam, please go to courseworks.umn.edu

Faculty ordering: textbooks and course materials adoptions.

Please submit your textbook and course materials orders as you have in the past to the University Libraries and/or the campus store.

If you have questions, need ordering instructions, or want to email us your course materials requests directly, write to: 

Crookston, Morris, Rochester, or Twin Cities: [email protected]

Duluth: [email protected]

Note: If you are requiring that we provide only print materials to your students for pedagogical reasons, you must indicate that on your adoption.

Adopting Course Materials

+ will the course works program affect textbook selection or academic freedom.

No. Faculty and instructors retain full academic freedom under this program. 

Whether you are assigning paid publisher content, library materials, or free and open educational resources (OER), all of your textbooks remain available for adoption. Only required titles are included in the program.

Typically any material with an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) can be included in the program. However, even some items with ISBNs may have limitations (including, out of print titles and old editions, which may fall outside of the program due to access, procurement and delivery constraints). Faculty and instructors may still adopt materials outside of the program.

Some items that may not have an ISBN, such as campus custom course packets, are also included in the program. 

+ Digital course materials are not suitable for my course. Will this program provide print materials?

Yes, it is understood that there is no one model that would meet the needs of every course format, curricula, or mode of instruction. If you want your students to only have access to printed materials, please specify that on your textbook adoption. Printed materials will be delivered in a bound format whenever they are available. You can contact [email protected] if you wish to review your adoption requests.

+ How do I get a desk copy of my chosen text(s)?

This process remains unchanged. You should reach out to your publisher representative to request a desk copy.

+ What academic materials are covered by this program?

As a general rule of thumb, materials with ISBNs are eligible for Course Works (some exceptions apply).

Required course materials (whether digital or printed) include:

• Course packets from Printing Services and Libraries
• Library materials like e-books, journal articles, and streaming media
• Homework access

The followings items are not included at this time and will need to be purchased separately:

• Course supplies: lab coats, art supplies, calculators, goggles, etc.
• Art and science kits: architecture, design, electronics, horticulture, etc.
• Items with access or availability issues (which may include out-of-print titles and old editions)
• Many software applications
• Optional materials

+ If I cancel my adoption, will my students still get charged?

The Course Works Complete program is a flat-rate, semester-based program that covers all required textbooks for every degree-seeking undergraduate student. The fee is not based on individual classes. Therefore, if you decide to cancel an adoption for your class there is no additional cost or reduction to the student.

If a student is participating in Course Works Select, there will be a reduction in the student charge as that program charges students for the per-item cost of the materials they choose.

+ I use content from resources other than a textbook publisher, such as third-party software, a library resource, Open Educational Resources (OER), etc. Can I continue to do so?

Yes. You may continue to request the same content as prior terms. Many third-party software/courseware providers may already be integrated partners or can be integrated. Library course materials may be offered in Canvas in addition to, or included with, this program. In fact, the use of library materials such as unlimited access ebooks, articles, streaming media, and OER is essential to keep costs for the program down. The more library materials and OER instructors use, the lower the program fee will be for students. For questions regarding non-publisher content’s fit within the program, contact [email protected] .

+ My course(s) will use Open Educational Resources (OER), Open Content, or Creative-Commons (CC) licensed materials. Why would my course participate in this program?

Decisions about Course Works participation are made by individual students, not at the faculty or instructor level.

The Course Works Complete program is inclusive of all undergraduate courses. Students taking courses in addition to your course may find their other courses require paid content. We encourage students to consider if Course Works Complete or Course Works Select is a better fit.

Course Works Complete as an initiative is designed as a “both/and” environment. We encourage any and all adoption of OER alongside the program’s paid publisher content. Providing free or low-cost content will bring down the associated costs that students pay, a main goal of this program. As program costs continue to go down, the program fee charged to students is also expected to go down.

+ All of my course materials are freely available through the libraries, why would my course participate in this program?

The Course Works Complete program is inclusive of all undergraduate courses. Students taking courses in addition to your course may find their other courses require paid content. We encourage students to consider if Course Works Complete or Course Works Select is a better fit. Check with the library to ensure the items provided through the libraries have adequate capacity to accommodate all your students’ access.

+ Does the Course Works program change the course material adoption process?

There are no changes if you are following the existing protocols for course material adoptions with the campus store. This is true for digital, print, and OER materials. Additional information is available on the faculty and instructor information page ( Crookston, Morris, Rochester, Twin Cities or Duluth ). 

If you do not currently adopt your materials with the campus store or libraries, you will want to do so as students in Course Works Complete will expect their materials to be provided as part of the program fee.

In the near future, the libraries and campus stores are working on an improved, integrated adoptions process so that faculty and instructors will have one point of contact for all course material adoptions.

My Students

+ my course doesn’t require textbooks. why would students in my course benefit from this program.

The Course Works Complete program is inclusive of all undergraduate courses. Students taking courses in addition to your course may find their other courses do require paid content. We encourage students to consider if Course Works Complete or Course Works Select is a better fit.

+ How do students access their course materials?

All digital course materials will be provided through Canvas, however you do not need to use Canvas for instructional purposes.

Students initially access ebooks directly through Canvas.

Publisher courseware (such as McGraw-Hill Connect or Pearson MyLab) is accessed through an integration in Canvas or with a provided URL. Most publisher courseware is integrated with Canvas to connect to the publisher’s content platform and students will use the Canvas link to create their initial courseware login. After an initial login has been created, students may go direct or bookmark the login page of the publisher’s content platform.

For non-digital course materials, copies will be distributed to students through the campus store at the start of the course.

+ How long do students have to access these ebooks or courseware?

It depends. A few publishers do not offer more than 6-month access. However, for the majority of ebooks, 5-year or perpetual access is usually available, which would allow student access beyond the course's end. Post-course access is not likely to be restricted unless courses adopt courseware (e.g. MyLab, Connect, Achieve, etc.). Publisher courseware is extremely expensive to create and maintain and is the unfortunate reason why access is restricted to a 1-or-2 term limit.

+ Can students opt out of Course Works Complete? How do they do so?

Yes. Students may opt out of Course Works Complete by the established drop/add deadline in any given semester (see Important Dates page ). When advising students on the opt out process, it is important to consider a student’s full-term course enrollment, and not just a single course. If a student chooses to opt out of the Course Works Complete program, they can participate in Course Works Select and choose which materials to purchase on a course-by-course and material-by-material basis from the campus store. Please view the Student and Family FAQs for complete details on the opt-out process.

+ Can students download ebooks? Or use without internet access?

Yes. The ereader is fully device agnostic, scalable, and allows simultaneous usage across multiple devices. Further, content downloaded to the ereader app can be accessed in offline situations as long as it was downloaded prior to loss of internet connection. As for saving as a file, copyright laws can restrict licensed content from taking form as redistributable files. Allowing content to only be downloaded within the ereader puts the onus on the provider to protect copyright and relieves the University of associated risks.

+ Will course materials still be available at the campus store?

Yes. The campus store will offer all digital course materials directly through Canvas regardless of whether the student is opted in to Course Works Complete or not. For students who are in the program, required print texts will be provided by the campus store automatically. Students who make individual choices through Course Works Select will have those orders fulfilled by the campus store.

If a student opts out of both the Course Works Complete and Course Works Select programs, they must purchase their material from a retailer other than the campus store.

+ Who can participate in Course Works?

There are two tiers to Course Works: Complete and Select

Degree-seeking undergraduate students are eligible to participate in Course Works Complete, and are auto-enrolled each semester (Fall, Spring) with their student accounts billed a flat-rate fee for access to their required course materials in the Course Works program.

With some exceptions, all other students (non-degree undergraduate, graduate, and professional) are eligible for the Course Works Select program. Participation, access and billing vary by student and course. In Select, students make participation choices at the individual material level; it is not a flat-rate fee like Complete.

During the opting period:

• Complete students can opt out and move into Select
• Both Complete and Select students can opt out of Course Works entirely and pursue course materials on their own

+ Do students need to sign up for Course Works?

No. Each semester, eligible students are automatically enrolled in Course Works Complete (degree-seeking undergraduates) or Course Works Select (non-degree undergraduates) and provided with access to all of their required course materials—based on the courses a student has signed up for—by the first day of classes.

+ What should a student do if they need academic accommodation due to a disability?

Students with questions about accessibility, using digital content, or accommodations should contact their campus Disability Resource Center for assistance (see navigation for links to campus-specific resources).

+ How can students access course packets?

Custom-created, physical course packets from the U's Printing Services will be distributed to participating students through the campus store during the start of courses. Students will receive an email at their umn.edu address when they are ready to be picked up. If the student is opted in to Course Works Complete, the order for print materials will be automatically placed without the student having to do anything.

Students who have opted out of the Course Works Complete and need to obtain a course packet may place an order through the Course Works Select program in Canvas. Similarly, when ready for pickup, the campus store will notify the student via email that it's ready.

+ Does Course Works include graduate-level course materials?

Materials included depend on the student’s enrollment type. A degree-seeking undergraduate student enrolled in a graduate course would have their materials included. A graduate or professional student needs to purchase materials separately through Course Works Select.

+ Is Course Works an option in the summer semester?

Course Works Select is offered in the summer (beginning summer 2025). Course Works Complete is only available in the fall and spring semesters at this time. 

General Questions

+ how will my tas access digital materials on their shelf.

TAs will be treated exactly like instructors. TAs will get access to digital materials on their Course Works Shelf in Canvas on the early access date along with everyone else. They will also not be charged for materials like instructors.

If TAs need to be added to courses, they should be added on the Canvas roster. 

+ Do I need to use Canvas for instruction?

No. Faculty and instructors are not required to use Canvas for instruction in order for their materials to be included in the Course Works program. Canvas is a single access point for students to access their course materials, and they are available in a separate main navigation tab. regardless of whether faculty and instructors use Canvas in an instructional capacity.

Faculty and instructors wishing to use courseware materials do need to have a Canvas page set up for integration. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

Altai Krai State Fine Arts Museum - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

There are two large regions called Altai: the Altai Republic with the administrative center in Gorno-Altaysk and the Altai Krai with its capital Barnaul. The most famous attractions are in the Altai Mountains, but you can also spend some great days in Altai Krai. Here I am telling you where to go in the Altai Krai to have a great time.

Visit Belokurikha - to walk along a terrenkur

Visit Altayskoye - to learn all about Altai herbs

Visit Basargino and experience life in a modern village

Basargino looks like it was created in some kind of computer simulation game. And there, on a little piece of land you need to arrange cozy wooden comfortable houses, a farm, a church, a cafe and a restaurant with insanely delicious meals, an apiary, lakes with fish, a chicken coop and pastures. You also should have cows, pigs, goats and sheep. And also wolves and yaks to make the visitors even more delighted.

Visit the forge in Belokurikha and forge a horseshoe for good luck 

There is not a feminine equivalent for a blacksmith, therefore I will simply introduce Anna Biletskaya as the blacksmith. Anna, armed with a heavy hammer and an anvil, is able to forge a horseshoe for a horse in 15 minutes and a decorative horseshoe for luck in only 10 minutes. Well the last one is more in demand lately. Anna opened her smithy to visitors a few years ago. This blacksmith in a skirt shows the whole process during her short master classes: first heat a piece of metal over a fire, then take a hammer and beat it well on the anvil, pull it back, then bend it and put it back into the fire. Finally, cool and clean it.

Visit "The Gold of Altai"(Zoloto Altaya) - to bath in Sanduny or to ride a horse

A hot bath filled with herbs such as hypericum, yarrow, camomile and also a rejuvenating bathtub -  these are the Russian answer to the best Asian spa with plumeria flowers. Well, the Altai version looks more brutal, but you will quickly feel the great effect. The herbs are collected and specially prepared here, in "The Gold of Altai" eco-hotel on the shore of the lake. Bathhouses are warmed up in both old Russian traditional ways: the "black" banya (a smoke goes out of bathhouse through cracks in wooden walls) and the "white" banya (a smoke goes out of the bathhouse through a pipe). The professional bath attendants will help guests adjust the right amount of steam and smack them briskly all over their bodies with special bath brooms. The largest horse farm in this district is also located in the hotel area; you should not miss the chance to ride a horse at least around the local territory.

What else to do in Altai:

• Take a walk through the pine forest near Barnaul
• Stop by the village of Srostki, where Vasily Shukshin (the soviet movie director) was born
• Spend a day at the "Biruzovaya Katun" Resort
• Take a walk along Biysk and visit the museum of the Chuysky Tract
• Relax in the "Altay Palace", check-in to the only official gaming zone in Siberia
• Go to Lake Aya
