One path forward together is encouraging Open Education and Open Educational Resources (OER). How can academic libraries create momentum around OER on campus where there may not have been much before? How can libraries engage with student advocates on their campuses to continue pushing forward Open Education initiatives, such as open textbooks and educational resources? This session will describe recent initiatives at the University of Calgary collaborating with student leaders on Open Education, including a new library OER-finding and matching service for instructors, as well as campus promotion and awareness campaigns.engUnless otherwise indicated, this material is protected by copyright and has been made available with authorization from the copyright owner.
