International Open Access Week Events CIVICA – OSUN – Open Educational Resources and Information Literacy: Librarian Roles and Resources

Open Educational Resources and Information Literacy: Librarian Roles and Resources

Open Educational Resources (OER) not only promote student success by lowering textbook costs for students, they also have the potential to increase accessibility, diversity, relevance, and student engagement. Librarians’ information literacy skill set makes them uniquely qualified to provide leadership, education, and collaboration in OER projects. This presentation discusses ways librarians can participate in projects with students and course instructors as well as lead OER initiatives within the library and beyond. Librarians may apply information literacy skills during projects involving selecting, adapting, and authoring OER. They may also teach information literacy skills while educating others about OER and assisting with open pedagogy projects. The presentation will conclude with a list of resources and sources of support for those new to OER as well as those who are more experienced.
