Academic librarians support course materials through OER, course guides, and reserves. This lightning talk shares a case study in which a newly hired instructor partnered with library staff to create a zero-cost, multimedia set of course resources. By combining open textbooks, library ebooks, podcasts, and expert video content, the collaboration supported Universal Design for Learning, broadened perspectives, and improved access while reducing student costs.

Learning Objective(s): 1) Describe the pedagogical value of incorporating podcasts and video alongside traditional course readings; 2) Explain how multimodal resources support Universal Design for Learning and undergraduate engagement; and 3) Apply a scale-able approach for expanding course materials beyond a single-textbook model while reducing student costs.
