Hi ABC List-Serv,
The University of Waterloo currently has an ad-hoc Open Access committee with membership from the Library, the Bookstore, the Centre for Extended Learning, and the Centre for Teaching Excellence.
We are in the process of formalizing an Open Working Group with a terms of reference and a mission statement.
We would like to learn from other institutions that currently have a formal Open Access working group. If you are willing to share, please provide the following:
1. Name of Institution
2. What is the membership?
3. Do you have a terms of reference? If so, could you share?
4. Comments
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kathryn Blair
I just realized that this email did not come through to me so it probably didn't reach any of you!
Our BCLA conference session has been approved. I need to finalize edits this week.
We have Rajiv and Amanda confirmed for the panel. We need a librarian on the panel and someone to facilitate the session.
Is anyone interested in these roles (please don't be shy!!) Can you let me know right away if you are interested and send me a speaker biography. Speakers receive a $75 discount coupon for the conference registration.
The session is scheduled for Friday, May 11, 10:30-11:45. The conference is in Richmond this year. https://bclaconnect.ca/conference/
The session:
>From Open Educational Practices to Social Justice: Making the Leap
Open Education is about more than opening resources, it is also about opening pedagogy but what does that mean? What does open education have to do with social justice? Do we believe that education is about leveling the playing field and, at its best, addressing issues of injustice, privilege and exclusion? Are open education practices, at their core, about access, equity, innovation and creativity? If so, how is the open education movement embodying those values?
Join a panel to discuss the broad impact of open educational practices. How are these practices living up to their potential, and how are they failing to do so? Can open education help provide a more equitable future where a multitude of diverse voices are heard and respected? Librarians are key contributors in the open education movement as an extension of their historical roles to provide safe places of learning that are open and available to all; or, is that traditional role a myth? Let's discuss.

Hello all,
Just an update on the Festival of Learning proposal.
I wasn't able to attend the BCALS December meeting a week ago which was focused on issues of privacy but a colleague did attend and said it was really good. I contacted the presenters last week to see if they might be willing to reconvene and do a panel at the Festival of Learning. Only one person is able to commit. The Festival of Learning organizers have a policy that any one who is presenting has to pay a minimum of one day attendance fee, so that excluded one of the potential panelists and limits who is able to commit to a session. As a result, I am not going to submit the proposal. I apologize about this late notice as the deadline for proposals is today.
I did submit the proposal we discussed for BCLA. I'll let you know if that proposal is accepted once I hear back from the program committee.
I think many of us will be involved in the KPU hosted Open Education Week event so, although it would be nice to have a BCOEL session at Festival of Learning, I think it is OK if we miss it this year.
Best, Lin
Hi all
I'm following up on an item that we discussed a few meetings ago at one of our steering committee teleconferences. You might recall Lindsay wanting us to get going on an OE event that we could all market together.
I've moved Lindsay's request forward and I've been working a bit with Amanda (who is on this list) and we have come up with an initial proposal for an all day Open Ed event on March 6, with another one on the Island possibly on the 8. March 6 potentially at KPU Richmond with an evening event at SFU Harbour Centre - just 11 quick sky train stops away!
We are having an initial brief meeting on Dec. 12 at 1 amongst a few people who are interested in planning the event. If you want me to add you to the list to participate on that call, let me know. But don't feel like you have to participate on the planning committee to be able to claim the event as your own and shamelessly market it.

Caroline let me know that you were all OK with the BCLA proposal. I am going to submit it today. Amanda, Rosario, and Rajiv (tentative) have agreed to be on the panel. Does anyone from our group want to be the librarian on the panel or moderate? Or, do you have an idea for these two roles? I can put myself in for now if I don't hear from anyone right away and we can change it up if the proposal is accepted, so don't let the submission deadline stop you from putting your hand up if you are interested. I'll ask you for faculty suggestions later if Rajiv can't do it.

Hello,
It looks like the best day and time for our next meeting is Thursday, Nov. 16th at 10:00 AM. Please connect via Blue Jeans with this link - https://bluejeans.com/6045275190
Proposal for BCLA conference and Festival of Learning will be on the agenda. Lin has suggested the following for the FOL:
Festival of Learning
Open and Private: Dichotomy or Roommates (who get along)
What should be open and what should be private? How do we encourage students to work in the open while keeping them safe in Cyberville? How do we help them develop their ability to make meaningful contributions to their disciplines and avoid having their privacy hacked? How do we encourage open practices and respect choices that people make for a myriad of reasons?
Talk to you next Thursday.
