From Backstage to Center Stage: Community College Libraries and OER

 

Session Description:
Four community college library directors describe successful campus OER initiatives that shifted their libraries into highly visible roles. The libraries are now center stage — as motivators of institutional change; as researchers skilled at identifying high-quality OER; as partners in curriculum development and instructional design; as experts in copyright and licensing; as entrepreneurs seeking new printing and publishing partners; and as advocates addressing college affordability. Panelists represent libraries with extensive OER engagement and will provide examples of advanced campus support; other panelists will appeal to libraries starting OER activity. Retain, reuse, revise, and remix these successful campus models!
