Rebellions Are Built On Hope: Joining Forces To Support Oer In A Restrictive Institutional Environment, Aimee Denoyelles, John Raible, Sarah A. Norris, Rich Gause, Penny Beile

Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Librarians and instructional designers (IDs) from a university in the U.S. will describe the partnership formed to promote no-cost textbook solutions (OER, library-sourced) in the face of a restrictive environment. The institution is divided in two tiers: the President's Office, which oversees non-academic functions such as Business Services, and the Provost's Office, which is responsible for teaching and learning.

Scholarly Publishing Education For Academic Authors: Reframing The Library’S Instruction Role - Scholarly Publishing, Information Literacy, And Social Justice, Charlotte Roh

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship

Scholarly publishing has made great strides in fulfilling the vision of open access, with more journals and papers now freely available to read and reference on the Internet. Yet that achievement falls short of a truly global open, trusted, and reuseable scholarly record. What are the next steps in openness and the pain points in providing completely open scholarship? Education about the publishing process is still developing, particularly when the publishing infrastructure includes the same colonial systems and biases in academic research and publishing that persist throughout academia. These biases influence what gets published, who gets tenure, what research gets …
