Summary:

"We’re excited to invite you to submit a chapter for our forthcoming OA book, OER: A Field Guide for Academic Librarians. The work is currently under contract with Pacific University Press and will be published online under a CC-BY license as well as made available for sale in print.

Focus of the Book:

 This work will take a decidedly practical approach to articulating the role of academic librarians in the development and implementation of Open Educational Resources (OER) on college and university campuses.  It will begin with the fundamentals of what OER are, what problem(s) they are meant to solve, the new pedagogical approaches they enable, and their potential to positively impact student success. Next the book will pivot to a series of case studies on the practical aspects of advocating for OER adoption to both students and faculty; finding and evaluating existing OER; partnering with other campus units to develop, license, and publish them; and assessing their adoption and implementation. The work will conclude with a vision of the role of library-based publishing in the OER space.

Book Structure:

This book will have three main sections – OER: The Case for OER, OER: Case studies in Implementation, and Future of OER.

 While specific chapters have been proposed under targeted topics, we encourage contributors to  showcase your own experience and knowledge."
