At Fanshawe College, we have the OER Design Studio in the library to support faculty looking to adopt or create OER. The library staff support the process by completing the environmental scans. You can see more about our process in our Development Guide.

Hi Debra,

 

I have been advocating for a librarian technician to support the Scholarly Communications and Resource Sharing Unit 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)
  • DOIs or ISBN creation
  • compiling stats related to OERs

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 and that is naturally what we aspire to have one day 😊

 

Warm regards,

Debra
