Ways you can support student access include:

• Adopting open textbooks or other open educational resources (OERs) in your classes
• Introducing students to the Unpaywall plugin or other resources you're using in your access toolkit.
• Working with a librarian to develop an assignment or in-class session that encourages the use of OA resources and/or introduces students to concepts of critical information literacy and social issues related to information access.
• Encouraging students to consider licensing their work with a creative commons license.

Keep in mind that although most students are not publishing academic works, they are learning how to navigate the ever-changing world of information. Even for 'digital natives', learning new tools and strategies often require direction, practice, and understanding. 

 It is part of our shared responsibility to try to support them in understanding how to access information and in considering critical, ethical, and social issues of information access. These are among the skills that they can build upon as information creators, community members, and advocates in their lives after college.

This can be a challenging endeavor, especially as we are also considering foundational and disciplinary skills and content knowledge, but we encourage you to consider how you might help students understand concepts like information privilege and open access in the context of your discipline and/or their interests.
