Has your library designed open educational resources (OERs) for faculty? Have you partnered with faculty on the curation of OERs for classroom use in specific subjects? Are you hosting OERs at your library? Have you done anything else with OERs that you want to share with others?
The Resource Sharing Committee of the Western New York Library Resources Council is hosting the Open Up: Embracing Open Educational Resources and the Library’s Role In Itconference on Friday, October 20, at Hilbert College in Hamburg, NY. The conference will focus on what librarians can do to create, curate, distribute, and promote the use of OERs by the communities they serve. Beginning at 8:00 AM and ending at 3:00 PM, there will be presentations, a set of breakout sessions, lightning round sessions, and a poster session. There are still slots available for poster sessions and we invite anyone working with OERs and an interest in sharing their work to submit a proposal.
To have your poster session considered for the conference, please complete this form. More information about the conference is available here.
