[OERCommittee] OER Office Hours Spring '22

[Matthews, Daniel]

Hi OER Committee!

At our last meeting, we discussed the upcoming OER Office hours for SP '22. We will need volunteers for facilitators starting in February going through May. Please consider facilitating one of the topics, for the upcoming semester. To hop in, please e-mail me two possible months that you're able to facilitate and two potential topics that you'd like to facilitate.

You do not need to be an expert in any of the topics or have answers for people's questions necessarily. You'll mostly be helping the conversation along by asking questions and prompting the attendees.

Here is a list of the topics we discussed:

  *   Accrediting agency requirements and faculty perceptions of transfer curriculum textbook requirements
  *   Library-owned ebooks as replacements for textbooks and —how do publisher ebooks licenses help or hinder this aspect of library support of textbook affordability?
  *   How we started our OER program
  *   About the OpenIllinois OER Commons Hub and the Author Tool
  *   Advice from experienced OER librarians
  *   How to obtain funding and how to expend it
  *   Accessibility of OER materials
  *   Faculty/Student OER Collaborations
  *   State-wide appropriations for Textbook Affordability: How do librarians lobby

Also the Open Author program is this coming Thursday, Dec. 9 at 1:00 p.m. Please register at the following link:
