Does your collection reflect what’s being taught?
WyderNet connects what faculty teach and assign to your library’s collection. Add syllabi, reading lists, or bookstore lists to see what students can access, where gaps exist, and what else in your collection supports the course.
Across courses, show academic affairs how the collection supports the curriculum, course by course, and where gaps recur.
See how a course connects to your collection
WyderNet identifies assigned materials, checks them against your library’s collection, and surfaces relevant resources students can access.
Evidence for collection development
See, department by department, how much of what's being taught students can access, and where to focus collection development.
From course materials list to course collection
Start with what you already have. WyderNet checks it against your collection, and your librarians decide what to publish.
Reads the course materials
Start with what's already available: bookstore adoption feeds, syllabi shared directly by faculty, or course materials from your LMS. WyderNet identifies the assigned materials and the topics being taught.
Checks your collection
Each title is matched to your holdings as available, missing, or needing review, with related resources from your collection alongside.
Librarians decide and publish
Your staff review gaps and access options, choose recommendations, and publish a course collection for students and faculty.
Easy to get started
✓ Use the course materials you already have
✓ No new faculty workflow
✓ Start with the courses or departments you choose
Faculty
Share a syllabus. That's it. Your students get one page with access to their assigned readings from day one.
WyderNet
Identifies assigned materials, checks them against your collection, and flags gaps and access issues.
Your librarians
Review uncertain matches and gaps, add recommendations, and decide what to make available to students.
Works with the systems you already use
WyderNet checks holdings through your discovery service, fits your existing ILL and acquisitions workflows, and works alongside your reading list system and LMS.
What WyderNet does, course by course
See how assigned materials align with your collection, what students can access, and where other resources could help, with librarians in control.
Check every assigned reading
Match titles, editions, and formats to what your library holds or licenses.
Recommend beyond the reading list
Surface resources from your collection that fit the course topics. Librarians decide what to recommend.
Evaluate how to fill the gaps
See where materials aren’t available or access is limited, then choose a path (ILL, OA/OER, another format or license, or purchase) in your existing workflows.
Share with instructors
Send the course collection to the instructor, who can link it from the syllabus or LMS. Faculty review is optional.
Publish a course collection
One page with assigned readings, access links, selected recommendations, and librarian notes. Students can open the course collection without logging in. Library resources may require institutional sign-in.

Questions
Common questions
How is this different from our reading list or course reserves tool?
WyderNet works alongside your course reserves and reading list tools. It doesn't ask faculty to build lists. It starts from the syllabi and bookstore adoptions you already have, checks them against your collection, recommends related resources, and shows where gaps recur across courses.
Where do course materials come from?
Whatever you already have: bookstore adoption feeds, syllabi shared directly by faculty, or course materials from your LMS. LMS integration is priced separately.
What does it cost to start?
$1,500 a year for up to 25 courses, including standard setup and onboarding.
