In this 25-minute presentation, I will describe how we have been helping to build an OER and Open Access awareness and adoption campaign at a large, four-year public research university.

With students increasingly buried under crushing debt for their college education, open educational resources (OER) attempt to lower their costs by using free, openly licensed alternatives. Many academic libraries nationally are encouraging faculty to ditch the expensive textbooks and incentivizing the adoption of OER in the classroom, or offering Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to increase access to education to all. This program will offer attendees an overview of OER, how libraries can encourage faculty to adopt OER, and discuss programs in place at Oklahoma State University and Arizona State University

Take a journey to discover how you can provide quality information to your patrons for free! Explore the world of Open Access Resources! Open Access refers to scholarly information that is free, online, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. This makes it easier for people to find and use reliable information on a myriad of subjects, such as health information, educational materials, or business resources. Knowledge of Open Access is important for all librarians to help us best serve our communities and stretch our dwindling budgets. Your tour guides will give an overview of Open Access, discuss legislative issues, demonstrate how to find open access resources, and explain how librarians can get involved.

Advocating for OER: STEM liaison self-reflections on curricular support requests

Description
Over the last two years, two STEM Liaison Librarians realized curriculum support requests were trending towards incorporating open educational resources. This poster will highlight some of the trends and challenges of the requests received, the librarian’s recommendations, and course builder adoption (or non-adoption) of recommended OER.

Over the last two years, two STEM Liaison Librarians realized curriculum support requests were trending towards incorporating open educational resources. This poster will highlight some of the trends and challenges of the requests received, the librarian’s recommendations, and course builder adoption (or non-adoption) of recommended OER. One challenge encountered is supporting flexible online courses designed to be more equitable and accessible for those who are historically marginalized or excluded from higher education. Based on this work, the STEM liaison librarians hope to create a unified strategy for OER education and promotion amongst liaisons library wide. Objective 1: Critically examine curriculum support requests in order to identify opportunities for inclusion of open educational resources (OER). Objective 2: Identify and evaluate different types of OER in order to support online curricular needs. Objective 3: Explore trends and identify challenges in order to guide library response to curriculum support.
