Hi, strangers! I've got a question that I think is particularly suited for the wisdom of this group. As some of y'all may know, OER Commons is run by my organization, ISKME. ISKME also sets up and helps maintain microsites (rebranded, repopulated, and customized OER Commons libraries) to other organizations. This year, we're working with the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) to set one up for them. In a recent meeting, one of the librarians (a member of the Mohawk nation) brought up the possibility of incorporating something Brian Deer-like into the taxonomy, as they'd heard about it while working with the librarians at the College of the Muscogee Nation, but they didn't have a lot of movement on it at the time. While I know a bit about it, it's a bit outside of my specialty. I know that UBC, KPU and SFU all have their own implementations of it, and I was wondering if anyone in the group might be able to suggest someone at those libraries who could I could put in touch the librarian at OSRHE? Bonus points if they also have experience with OER!
