Session Description:
Supporting and even leading OER initiatives demonstrates academic libraries commitment to the evolving nature of higher education. This session is for librarians who recognize their library can advance the use of open educational resources, but arent sure how to get started. Panelists will help you identify the best point of entry for your OER work and share strategies for starting conversations with the right audience. Who is helping faculty find resources to save their students thousands of dollars? Who is compiling and analyzing OER impact data? Who is educating students about skyrocketing textbook costs? (Hint: maybe it could be YOU!).
