[Canadaoer] Re: Question regarding library technicians supporting faculty with OER and ZTC

Hi Debra, I have been advocating for a librarian technician to support the Scholarly Communications and Resource Sharing Unit<https://library.upei.ca/scrs> at UPEI for a little over a year and with a recent number of retirements in the Library, we have had the opportunity to revisit library technician roles. We are adding scholarly comm support to a library technician position -- it will be part circulation and part schol comm. The OER tasks that the library technician will complete are: * Creating accounts on Pressbooks * Troubleshooting technical problems on Pressbooks and/or reporting issues to our Systems team * Light formatting of OERs on Pressbooks (mainly formatting that is tricky due to errant HTML) * updating the library OER webpages (https://library.upei.ca/oer) * DOIs or ISBN creation * compiling stats related to OERs -Kim Kim Mears, MLIS, AHIP (she/her) University of Prince Edward Island Health Sciences & Scholarly Communications Librarian 902-566-0453 | kmears@upei.ca<mailto:kmears@upei.ca> ________________________________ From: Canada Open Education Resources &lt;canadaoer(a)lists.bccampus.ca&gt; Sent: March 19, 2024 7:42 PM To: canadaoer(a)lists.bccampus.ca &lt;canadaoer(a)lists.bccampus.ca&gt; Subject: [Canadaoer] Question regarding library technicians supporting faculty with OER and ZTC CAUTION: This email originated from outside of UPEI.

Hello, Like many of you, we are always looking for ways the Library can support faculty transitioning to OER or ZTC. I would like to hear from any libraries out there that have Library Technicians helping faculty and, if so, in what way? I’m aware of KPU’s OPUS<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> and that is naturally what we aspire to have one day 😊 Warm regards, Debra Debra Flewelling (she/hers<https://www.mypronouns.org/>) Open Education Librarian 604.527.5190 debra.Flewelling@douglascollege.ca<mailto:debra.Flewelling@douglascollege.ca> [Description: logo_2012_for_email_signature77172] I am grateful to learn and work on the unceded traditional and ancestral lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie), qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and qiqéyt (Qayqayt) First Nations.
