SUMMARY:Free Books: Open Publishing at Concordia
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Open Education Month\, Concordia Library is pleased to present a new display highlighting open publishing at the Library and Concordia University Press (CUP). Together\, the Library and CUP collaborate to make scholarship and education free and accessible within and beyond the university. \nOpen Educational Resources (OER) are digital resources for teaching\, learning\, and research that are made available for use and re-purposing. They increase the variety of instructional resources in students’ learning experiences while lowering the financial barriers. OER in the form of open textbooks are a hallmark of Concordia’s OER program. Although open-access publications from university presses often do not permit repurposing in the same way that open textbooks do\, they are nonetheless free for students and can be adopted in courses. In parallel with open publishing\, Course Reserves also offer a free option for students. \nThis collaborative display illustrates how open education and open scholarship can nurture each other. As higher education becomes increasingly costly\, students stand to gain from the cost-saving benefits of viable alternatives to commercial textbooks. Meanwhile\, professors can choose to deepen their research and pedagogical impact by developing open-access and knowledge-mobilization plans to benefit students and the wider public. \nOrganized in six sections\, this display introduces students and faculty to the parallels between CUP and the Library’s OER program. In the vitrine and the digital counter\, you will find awareness efforts alongside physical and digital books from CUP and Concordia’s OER program. QR codes make these titles easily accessible\, while OER and CUP buttons and slogans promote the importance of open publishing. \nFinally\, the horizons of free course material options can be expanded through student advocacy and faculty pedagogy. We encourage students to nominate a course for open education and show their support for open publishing by wearing one of our buttons found at the Ask-Us Desk. We encourage faculty to consider open textbook grants\, course reserves\, and open-access university presses. \nLet’s reduce barriers to higher education together! \nCurated by the Library’s OER Team and Concordia University Press\, the exhibition will be on display from March 3 until April 30\, 2025. Special thanks to Zo Kopyna\, Chhayhee Sok\, Saelan Twerdy\, Meredith Carruthers and Rachel Harris. \nConcordia University Library supports open scholarship\, education\, and science. As part of this commitment\, the Library leads the University’s OER Program and continues to develop open scholarship initiatives and services\, such as our open guides and institutional repository. \nConcordia University Press is a non-profit publisher of peer-reviewed books. Concordia University Press is committed to barrier-free scholarship and our titles are available as free\, open-access e-books\, as well as for sale in thoughtfully designed print editions.

SUMMARY:OEW@Campus Luzern – Auf dem Weg zu einer OER-Community: Einblicke\, Stolpersteine und Chancen 
DESCRIPTION:Nora Bertram\, Regula Zwicky\, Universität Zürich \nWie baut man eine OER-Community auf? Genau dieser Frage gehen wir in unserem Beitrag nach – mit ehrlichen Einblicken und konkreten Beispielen aus unserer Praxis. An der Universität Zürich haben wir erste Schritte unternommen: einen OER-Guide mit Empfehlungen und allgemeinen Informationen veröffentlicht\, verschiedene Kommunikationskanäle genutzt und wertvolle Erfahrungen gesammelt – mit ersten Ergebnissen\, aber auch mit Herausforderungen.    \nWir berichten direkt aus unserer „Werkstatt“\, teilen unsere Learnings und offenen Fragen und möchten mit euch ins Gespräch kommen. Welche Erfahrungen habt ihr gemacht? Welche Strategien haben sich bewährt? Was funktioniert\, um Dozierende für OER zu gewinnen? Welche Kanäle und Zeitpunkte eignen sich am besten? Und wie lassen sich die Chancen von OER überzeugend vermitteln? Lasst uns gemeinsam überlegen\, wie wir OER nachhaltig an unseren Hochschulen verankern können.  \nZoom-Link: \nhttps://hslu.zoom.us/j/63592301731?pwd=9AFzV6J68DLOXXr1tCSqtkDRLfnaH8.1   \n\n(English via Google Translate): \nTowards an OER community: insights\, stumbling blocks and opportunities\nNora Bertram\, Regula Zwicky\, University of Zurich\nHow do you build an OER community? This is precisely the question we address in our article – with honest insights and concrete examples from our practice. At the University of Zurich\, we have taken the first steps: published an OER guide with recommendations and general information\, used various communication channels and gained valuable experience – with initial results\, but also with challenges. \nWe report directly from our “workshop”\, share our learnings and open questions and would like to talk to you. What experiences have you had? Which strategies have proven successful? What works to win over lecturers to OER? Which channels and times are best? And how can the opportunities of OER be communicated convincingly? Let’s think together about how we can anchor OER sustainably at our universities.
