. Searching for a discipline’s name or course title andthe word “syllabus” can yield some results on GitHub or by using Bing, Google, or anotherpreferred search engine. When using Google, for example, try searching using an advancedsearch method to narrow down specific sites. For example, [discipline's name] "syllabus"site:.edu will yield academic websites. Particular institutions may host sites that allow a syllabussearch from their courses (e.g. UT-Austin, [24]). MIT OpenCourseware and other open courseplatforms will post syllabi as well.Additionally, Open Syllabus can be a useful resource with several tools to examine elements ofthe 18 million syllabi collected so far. The Open Syllabus Explorer and the Open SyllabusGalaxy are both free tools that

Understanding the IM selection practices of STEM college instructorswould assist librarians in selecting more relevant materials for student use, aid publishers andproducers of OER in the development of new textbooks and other materials, and lead toimprovements in curated online collections of OER and other IM. However, these practices arenot well documented in the literature [4], [5], [6].Our research questions are: ● What criteria do STEM college instructors use when choosing instructional materials for students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical science (STEM) courses? ● Where do instructors get information/suggestions for instructional materials?Literature ReviewRecent
with local non-profit organizationsor other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in their classroom.The faculty acknowledges the difficulty of using project-based learning in courses that havemultiple sections and therefore could have multiple instructors who need to agree on astandardized course syllabus, as well as courses that have a high number of enrolled students, asproject-based learning is typically done with smaller groups.Faculty from both business and engineering mentioned the need for resources such as casestudies to aid in incorporating more project-based learning in their courses. Business facultyspecifically mentioned Harvard Business Review case studies. They spoke of how well-regardedthey are in teaching business, but also
