Responding to increased student textbook costs, educators,
institutions, and even state legislators are focusing their attention
on Open Educational Resources (OER). In addition to saving money for
students, OER allow authors and educators to continually adapt their
teaching tools, bypass high textbook costs, and create, share, and
access global curricular resources.

In this free webinar, Michelle Barron-Lutzross of bepress Consulting
Services will discuss ways to integrate OER into the institutional
repository, a strategy that allows libraries to play a pivotal role in
the success of OER on campus. We parse recent research on OER,
describe strategies for faculty awareness and engagement, and share
examples from successful OER collections in several IRs.

Title: Supporting Student Success with Open Educational Resources

Date/Time: Tuesday, May 9, 2017/11:00am-12:00pm PDT

We hope to see you there!

Regards,

Morgan
