How it works

From course information to a Course Resource Guide

Start with a syllabus, assignment, reading list, or course description. Your library reviews the results and builds a guide around the course.

1

Understands the course

WyderNet identifies assigned resources and course topics. A course description is enough to begin finding relevant materials.

2

Matches and recommends

Check assigned resources against your collection and discover additional materials that support course topics and assignments. Review uncertain matches and suggested resources.

3

Curates and shares

Librarians resolve access gaps, select recommendations, and add guidance. Publish a customizable Course Resource Guide for faculty and students.
