To support distance learning at institutions impacted by COVID-19 closures, EBSCO has created Faculty Select to help faculty easily find Open Educational Resources(OER) and DRM-free e-books to support remote classroom needs. This complimentary access is available until September 30, 2020.
What is Faculty Select?
Faculty Select is a single interface where faculty can easily discover and access Open Educational Resources (OER), as well as find and request access to unrestricted, DRM-free e-books from top academic publishers.
With this option, EBSCO is offering a simplified version of Faculty Select that includes access to OER material as well as the option to discover more than 225,000 DRM-free EBSCO eBooks™ in one place, available at no charge for faculty to use through June 30, 2020. Contact your EBSCO representative if you have any questions or want to learn more.
How will it work?

One can then search more than 12,400 Open Educational Resources, and copy/paste links to relevant materials into their Learning Management System (LMS) or send links to the material directly to students to access.
