Does your collection reflect what’s being taught?
WyderNet connects faculty teaching and assigned materials 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 could support the course. Across courses, Collection Health shows how well your collection supports teaching.
Start with a department or a handful of courses.

What students can access
See which assigned materials are already available through your holdings and subscriptions, including available formats and access information. Uncertain matches are flagged for your staff to confirm.
Where there are gaps
See which assigned materials the library doesn’t currently provide, so librarians can evaluate how best to meet the need, whether through interlibrary loan, open access, OER, another available option, or purchase.
What students receive
A course collection that brings together assigned readings and librarian-selected resources, helping students readily access the materials that support their course.

From course materials list to course collection
Start with a syllabus, reading list, bookstore list, or assignment. WyderNet connects assigned materials to your collection, showing what’s available, what needs review, and where gaps exist. Your librarians decide what to recommend, source, and publish.
Reads the course materials
Start with the syllabi, reading lists, or bookstore lists you already have. Faculty don’t need to change anything. WyderNet identifies assigned materials and the topics being taught, creating a clearer picture of course demand.
Checks your collection
Each assigned title is matched to your holdings as available, missing, or needing review. Relevant resources already in your collection are surfaced alongside, helping librarians see where the collection supports the course and where gaps remain.
Librarians decide and publish
Your staff review gaps and access options, evaluate alternatives using the tools and sources they already rely on, select recommendations, and publish a course collection for students and faculty.
See a reading list become a course collection
A required reading on the course list, matched to the library’s copy and ready to publish.
See how your collection supports what’s being taught
Course by course, see how assigned materials align with your collection, what students can access, where gaps exist, and where other resources may better support faculty and student needs, all with librarians in control.
Check every assigned reading
Match assigned titles, editions, and formats to what your library already holds or licenses, giving librarians a clearer view of what students can readily access.
Recommend beyond the reading list
Surface relevant resources from your collection that fit the course topics and assignments. Librarians decide what to recommend, helping students discover more of what the library already provides.
Evaluate how to fill the gaps
See where assigned materials aren’t currently available or access may be limited. Librarians can then evaluate the appropriate path (interlibrary loan, OA/OER, another format or license, or purchase) using their existing workflows and sourcing tools.
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 open it from a link, no login needed.
Works with the systems you already use
WyderNet checks holdings through your discovery service and fits the interlibrary loan and acquisitions workflows you already use.
See how well the collection reflects what’s being taught
Across courses, see where the collection supports faculty teaching, where gaps or access limitations recur, and where alternatives may need to be considered. Use those insights to inform collection development as curriculum and faculty needs evolve.
Collection Health
One view of how your collection supports teaching across every course you analyze, by term or across all terms.
How the collection supports teaching
See how many required readings across your analyzed courses are ready for students, and how many still need attention.
Where the collection is strong
See coverage by course and department, and where gaps or access limitations show up again and again.
Gaps worth a closer look
See which gaps recur across courses, giving collection development evidence for what to review next.
Reach across teaching
See how many courses and teaching faculty are represented, so you know how much of the curriculum the picture covers.
Librarians interpret the findings and make the decisions.
Built for the teams connecting collections to teaching
Collection development, acquisitions, electronic resources, course reserves, and instruction librarians. Start with a focused group of courses and see how the collection aligns with real curriculum demand.
Priced to start small
Start with a department or a set of courses, then add more once you see results. Ask us for a proposal scoped to your library.
How your library gets started
Start small, see the results on real courses, then decide.

Prepare your first collections
We’ll connect WyderNet to your holdings and help your team review results and publish its first course collections.
Evaluate and expand
Look at coverage, gaps, student access, staff time, and faculty feedback. See what the results reveal about the collection, then add courses and departments when it makes sense.
