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 – Offene Lehrbücher: Zwischen allen Stühlen?
DESCRIPTION:Offene Lehrbücher: Zwischen allen Stühlen?\nNicole Krüger\, ZHAW Hochschulbibliothek\nIn Nordamerika werden OER und «Open Textbooks» fast synonym gebraucht. Umfangreiche staatliche Förderungen flossen in die Veröffentlichung von Lehrbüchern\, die heute in der Open Textbook Library oder der BCcampus Open Collection zu finden sind. Hier ist ein Unterschied zur OER-Praxis in Europa zu beobachten: Warum wurden Lehrbücher im OER-Kontext bisher nur wenig beachtet? Warum sind sie nicht Bestandteil von DOAB\, dem Directory of Open Access Books? Erhalten offene Lehrbücher – analog zu wissenschaftlichen Open Access-Monografien – finanzielle Förderung? Sind sie Bestandteil von bibliothekarischen Sammlungen? Diesen Fragen ging die LIBER Educational Resources Working Group 2022-2024 unter der Co-Leitung von Nicole Krüger\, Helen Moore und Tamara Pianos nach. \nDer Beitrag richtet sich in erster Linie an Personen aus dem OER- und Open Access-Support. Neben der Präsentation der Arbeitsergebnisse der Working Group und deren Austausch mit DOAB und der Open Textbook Library sollen Ideen zur Förderung dieser bisher nur wenig beachteten Form von OER ausgetauscht werden. \nCampus Luzern lädt Sie herzlich zur kostenlosen Online-Präsentation ein! Der Vortrag findet über ZOOM statt\, eine vorherige Anmeldung ist nicht erforderlich. \nZoom-Link: https://hslu.zoom.us/j/68022940452?pwd=b9lShWWa7ZCNk8d8gCSHi8gUliqLFG.1   \n\n(English via Google Translate): \nOpen textbooks: Caught between all chairs?\nNicole Krüger\, ZHAW University Library \nIn North America\, OER and “open textbooks” are used almost synonymously. Extensive government funding went into the publication of textbooks\, which can now be found in the Open Textbook Library or the BCcampus Open Collection. Here\, a difference can be observed compared to OER practice in Europe: Why have textbooks received little attention in the  OER context so far? Why are they not part of DOAB\, the Directory of Open Access Books? Do open textbooks receive financial support – analogous to academic open access monographs? Are they part of library collections? The LIBER Educational Resources Working Group 2022-2024\, co-led by Nicole Krüger\, Helen Moore and Tamara Pianos\, investigated these questions. \nThe presentation is primarily aimed at people from OER and Open Access support. In addition to presenting the results of the working group and exchanging them with DOAB and the Open Textbook Library\, the aim is to exchange ideas for promoting this previously little-noticed form of OER. \nCampus Luzern cordially invites you to the free online presentation! The lecture will take place via ZOOM\, prior registration is not required. \n
