Building a path to college success: Advocacy, discovery and OER adoption in emerging educational models
| Published | October 2016 |
| Journal | Journal of Library & Information Services in Distance Learning Issue 1, Pages 1 - 7 |
ABSTRACT
In this case study we will examine the role of the library in Open Educational Resources through the lens of library value described in Megan Oakleaf's 2010 ACRL report. While librarians in our organization have traditionally not played a role in textbook adoptions, the campus academic goal to increase online, blended and competency-based models is a strategic direction that intersects with the library's strategic vision to increase its contribution to online learning. Further, we will describe the process of building a partnership around OER with the campus Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning and articulate the impact of our combined services on faculty adoption of OER and student success.| Keywords | library value · OER · open textbooks · student success |
