@DLibraryIT08 Yes! Also, no waiting on the book to ship or having to pay for shipping costs #MCLSchat_files/profile_image_003.png)
@Jane_Feyl Most institutions with OERs have repositories of resources. Many resources are available #mclschat- @Jane_Feyl Sites include Suny, OpenStax, LumenLearning, Oregon has a site you can google #mclschat
- @@Jane_Feyl OERS can consist of all kinds of resources. Some are textbooks, others have articles, media, #mclschat
- @Jane_Feyl OERs can be a varitey of materials that can be used for educational purposes. For example, open software/tools fall under OERs #MCLSchat
- @Jane_Feyl Check to see if any faculty are using OERs. Your Dean of Academics may have information. #mclschat
- @Jane_Feyl Librarians often start an OER initiative in their institution. If yours doesn't have them, you may think about it! #mclschat
- Is anyone considering joining the OTN https://twitter.com/open_textbooks ? #mclschat
- @EntrLibMSU Institutions can create their own. We did at Ivy Tech with support from Lumen Learning #mclschat
- @EntrLibMSU others borrow OERs from all over that fit their criteria for a class. Both are acceptable #mclschat

@DLibraryIT08 @Jane_Feyl OERS may also start out of a grants department if your college has one - that is what I am working on #mclschat- OTN = Open Textbook Library https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/ #mclschat
- @Jane_Feyl I understand! It was to me when I started, but by attending conferences, reading and talking to others, you will learn #mclschat

What's that project? Sounds interesting! #mclschat https://twitter.com/madwags/status/898250140129132544 …- @EntrLibMSU Working with our head of online learning to figure out parameters - spurred by the requirement of many fed grants for open license #mclschat

@annagranch I tweeted you my email address #mclschat- @Jane_Feyl @SPARC_NA has a really great OER factsheet that you can find here: https://sparcopen.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Open-Education-Fact-Sheet_SPARC.11.10-2.pdf … #MCLSchat

@Jane_Feyl Here's an upcoming #OER Summit being held at Kellogg Community College #mclschat http://www.cvent.com/events/2017-mi-oer-summit/event-summary-6cd769897901462ba5f1c22dafa49d20.aspx …- @kendraklake @DLibraryIT08 @Jane_Feyl Did the Foundation solicit donations specifically to help this pilot? Or did it just decide to support with existing funds? #mclschat

#MCLSchat MIOER Summit coming up Sept 22nd. $40 to register. Great for beginners & great keynote! @actualham http://www.tinyurl.com/MIOERSummit- A4 It seems like it's a slightly different role for libraries, in terms of helping faculty publish #mclschat https://twitter.com/mclsorg/status/898251714909818881 …

Here is another great listing of OERs from Kate Pittsley-Sousa at EMU @emulibrary http://guides.emich.edu/alt-texts/oatexts … #mclschat- RT @cseeman: Here is another great listing of OERs from Kate Pittsley-Sousa at EMU @emulibrary http://guides.emich.edu/alt-texts/oatexts … #mclschat
- @EntrLibMSU It is different than traditional publishing. All content is under Creative Commons Licensing #mclschat
- @EntrLibMSU This means it is available to be revised or remixed by someone else. #mclschat
- Q6 What are the opportunities for libraries here? @EntrLibMSU you touched on this already. #mclschat

@DLibraryIT08 Thank you! #mclschat- @DLibraryIT08 #mclschat yes! Cheering them on so faculty are proud to brag about use of OER has been one of my favorite parts of our Open Ed committee!
- @madwags @DLibraryIT08 @Jane_Feyl We solicited them for a donation, and they used existing funds #mclschat
- @Jane_Feyl #mclschat Of course - the Open Ed community is very welcoming & supportive! There are listservs too sparc-liboer@arl.org
- @DLibraryIT08 Do you have an example? #mclschat
- @kendraklake are you asking about policies? #mclschat
- @kendraklake Creative Commons has a registry https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/OER_Policy_Registry … #mclschat
- @kendraklake Policy that will clear up any questions about usage. How to let students know a class is an OER class #mclschat
- @kendraklake Faculty need to know if OERs are allowed. What courses. What is required to create one and get it approved. #mclschat
- @DLibraryIT08 Yes, their concern is not attribution rather that they own the work and don't want to distribute in this fashion education is key #mclschat
- Out of time. Thanks so much @DLibraryIT08! #mclschat
- Thank you to everyone! We will archive this and make it available today https://mcls.org/training-events/events/third-thursday-twitter-chats-2016/ … #mclschat
