FW: BC Library Conference session on OER

by Martin Warkentin

Hi, all. I got sidetracked Friday afternoon and didn't actually get my request for feedback sent to BCLA. However, I just received the message below. It appears selection committee is interested in the session proposal, but there are a couple of changes they would like to see. -Martin From: Martin Warkentin Sent: January-16-17 1:54 PM To: 'BCLA Executive Director' Subject: RE: BC Library Conference session on OER Annette, Thank you for your comments. As this was a collective proposal, I will forward your message to the other BCOEL steering committee members, and we will discuss how best to make the suggested changes. We will let you know as soon as possible. Thank you again. -Martin Martin Warkentin Copyright Librarian University of the Fraser Valley 33844 King Road, Abbotsford, BC Canada V2S 7M8 (604) 504-7441 Ext. 4460 From: BCLA Executive Director [mailto:execdir@bcla.bc.ca] Sent: January-16-17 1:44 PM To: Martin Warkentin Subject: BC Library Conference session on OER Hi Martin My name is Annette DeFaveri and I'm the Executive Director at BCLA. We recently sent you a "no" email suggesting that we weren't interested in your proposal for the BC Library Conference. This is not the case. The Session Selection Committee asked that I get hold of you and see if you would be open to two changes in your proposal. We hope you will be, and that we can then go ahead and mount your session as part of the conference program. Your proposal suggests there would be 7 speakers. We work to keep the number of speakers per session to 3, but take four when necessary. Would you be able to mount the session with a maximum of 4 presenters? The other concern voiced in the selection meeting was about KPU. Several committee members suggested that KPU leads the province in open education adoption and has a strong history with Open Ed. With that in mind they wondered if KPU should be more heavily represented on the panel. Overall the committee was very pleased to receive your session proposal and think the topic is valuable to both the BC Library conference specifically and to the learning in the BC library environment generally. The format for the session is great, starting with Gill Green and then moving to a panel discussion and we hope you want to keep that approach. Would you consider the tweaks to the session? Or perhaps you have another suggestion? Please let me know and I can (hopefully) move forward and add this session to the 2017 program. Thanks for considering this Martin.

Permission to use materials

by Rosario Passos

Hi there everyone, I would like to ask the group for permission to use some of the materials from the Retreat we had earlier this year with the new community of practice I am also guiding - the Open Education Practices group, composed mostly by Instructional Designers. They are at the stage that they would like to think about aims and goals, so I would love to share some of the materials we used. The materials are here: http://bcoerguides.wikispaces.com/BCOER+Librarian+User+Group+-+Retreat Let me know if that is ok or not.

FYI... -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [lpc-l] GVSU professor recognized for library-published OER Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 19:59:26 +0000 From: Matt Ruen <ruenm(a)gvsu.edu> To: LPC-L <lpc-l(a)lists.purdue.edu> I'm excited to share the news that Grand Valley State University mathematics professor Ted Sundstrom is to receive the inaugural Daniel Solow Author's Award from the Mathematical Association of America, in recognition of /Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof/ <http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/books/9/>, an open educational resource published through ourScholarWorks@GVSU <http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/>repository platform. The Daniel Solow Author's Award celebrates authors whose materials have had a positive impact on undergraduate mathematics education. /Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof/is one of our favorite OER and library publishing success stories: after Dr. Sundstrom reclaimed his copyright from the original commercial publisher, the GVSU Libraries helped him make the textbook openly available online to a growing global audience. Dr. Sundstrom's textbook has been formally adopted at 47 universities, while the digital editions in ScholarWorks were downloaded more than 22,000 times in 2016 alone! On behalf of the GVSU Libraries' scholarly communications team, congratulations to Dr. Sundstrom! ---------- For more about Dr. Sundstrom, his textbook, and this award, see this article from GVSU's University Communications team:http://www.gvsu.edu/gvnow/2017/professor-to-receive-inaugural-mathemat… Listserv readers might also be interested to view the video series created by the GVSU Mathematics department as a companion to Mathematical Reasoning, with 107 openly-licensed videos available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2419488168AE7001 <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2419488168AE7001> ---------- Matt Ruen Scholarly Communications Outreach Coordinator Grand Valley State University Libraries ruenm(a)gvsu.edu Pronouns: he/him/his

Textbookbroke campaigns

by Flewelling, Debra

Hello, It is that time of semester when we hopefully see more attention brought to the high cost of textbooks. UVIC made the papers - http://www.saanichnews.com/news/410166795.html#.WHZqlZmgDuo.twitter And here at Douglas, the Douglas College Student Union set up a table set in our concourse area (see attached picture). I took the picture at the end of the day but during the day I noticed they had a lot of traffic around the table. Did anything happen at your institution that you would like to share?
