Open Education Resources: Collecting, Promoting, And Managing Oer In An Institutional Repository, Sarah Beaubien

Digital Commons Great Lakes User Group Annual Meeting

Open Education Resources (OER) are digital materials used for educational purposes that are intentionally made available to the public. An increasing number of university faculty create and use such resources in their teaching. Partnering with the creators of OER is an excellent way to gather high-quality, unique content for the repository while helping to fulfill the goal of making OER widely available.

Identifying And Adding Institutional Repository Content From And For Your Institution’S Affinity Groups, Jon Bull

Digital Commons Great Lakes User Group Annual Meeting

We initially identified 10 departments/units on campus that produced abundant scholarly works. These departments and faculty were targeted for a scan for works in the Web of Knowledge. When results were revealed, we narrowed the field to four units. The works …
