OER Champions: Bringing Down the Cost of Education One Textbook at a Time
Students are increasingly unable to afford the high costs of traditional textbooks. Many faculty are responding by seeking out OA alternatives, which continue to grow exponentially. What does this shift mean for academic libraries and how can you make OER easier to implement on your campus?
Join us for the latest installment of our free, 30-minute Open Access Master Class.
Together, we will:
- Explore how students and researchers are already using OER
- Investigate the trends in higher education that are prompting the movement
- Uncover how CloudSource— the OA-forward discovery platform from SirsiDynix— is changing how you discover and use open educational resources.
Academic libraries serve students with different levels of comfort with research methods and discovery tools. Set them up for success by providing the quality, open access resources they need where and when they need them—with no login or authentication needed. Register today.
