Subject: [LibOER] Amigos Library Services Online Conference: The Library's
Role in Supporting Open Educational Resources
To: SPARC Libraries & OER Forum <liboer at sparcopen.org>


As the cost of textbooks and other educational materials are exponentially
increasing, many institutions of higher education and PK-12 schools are
adopting open educational resources (OER) as alternatives for their
students. Libraries are starting to see OER as part of a trickle-down
effect. More and more librarians are now being tasked with supporting
faculty, students, and other members of their communities with the adoption
of OER.


Join us on December 4, 2019 for an Amigos Library Services online
conference, *The Library's Role in Supporting Open Educational Resources*,
where we will explore the roles libraries of all types play in supporting
open educational resources. Regina Gong, the Open Educational Resources
(OER) & Student Success Librarian at Michigan State University, will kick
off the conference at 10 am Central with her opening keynote, *Paving the
Way Towards Students Success: Librarians as Leaders and Partners in OER
Initiatives*. This keynote presentation will highlight the work done by
librarians in advancing awareness of and advocacy for open education. How
can librarians provide meaningful support and be an integral partner to the
different stakeholders on campus to encourage and sustain OER adoptions?
More importantly, she will share how we as a community can ensure that our
work is supported, valued, and celebrated. Throughout the rest of the day
learn about how libraries are supporting OER in specific subject areas,
developing partnerships with faculty and students, using OER in the
classroom, cataloging OER materials, and much more.
