Information for teachers
Library contacts per academy
Almost all academies have their own librarian at Zuyd Library.
Please check this overview (English) and contact your librarian. (Complete overview here>>)
Compulsory and recommended literature for courses
For compulsory literature (book list) one copy is standard available in the library collection. The library can support you with developing the compulsory book list. When choosing literature, we advise you to consider only using titles available online.
When you want to add (online) sources to the library collection, please contact the librarian of your academy.

Open Educational Resources (OER)
You can also search for open learning materials on the internet which can be reused or adapted to your own wishes
- SURF website: Using other people's open educational resources
- Zuyd Blog Digital Didactics - Looking for open learning materials (only in Dutch)
Tip:
Search for free available resources via Google Advanced Search so you can define usage rights (last option).
You can also search for Open Educational Resources in the SURF Search Portal.
Information literacy support
Zuyd Library staff have the expertise to transfer information literacy to others, both students (through Moodle courses on information literacy) and teachers (through workshops, info clips, LibGuides).
For the info skills courses in Moodle, the students can enroll themselves. However, you can embed an information skills course in your academy's Moodle environment. This allows for more customisation and teachers can monitor the progress of their students. Please contact your academy's librarian.
