Can faculty use content from the library's databases in an online course developed for Ontario Learn?
Answer
Unfortunately not. Currently there is no collective licensing between Ontario colleges for a shared pool of databases and other e-resources.
The contracts we typically sign with a database vendor limit access to current students, faculty, and staff at GBC, but not those attending or working at other colleges. This is, in part, due to logistics: to log in on-campus and off-campus/remotely, you require a current GBC e-mail username and password, which requires GBC registration.
For alternatives, please contact your Liaison Librarian or the Copyright Office.
