the cost of textbooks and other educational materials are exponentially
increasing, many institutions of higher education and PK-12 schools are
adopting open educational resources (OER) as alternatives for their students.
Libraries are starting to see OER as part of a trickle-down effect. More and
more librarians are now being tasked with supporting faculty, students, and
other members of their communities with the adoption of OER.<u></u><u></u></font></p><p style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;vertical-align:baseline"><font color="#000000"><br></font></p>

Library Services online conference, <em><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in">The
Library's Role in Supporting Open Educational Resources</span></em>, where we
will explore the roles libraries of all types play in supporting open
educational resources. Regina Gong, the Open Educational Resources (OER) &
Student Success Librarian at Michigan State University, will kick off the
conference at 10 am Central with her opening keynote, <i>Paving the Way Towards
Students Success: Librarians as Leaders and Partners in OER Initiatives</i>.
This keynote presentation will highlight the work done by librarians in
advancing awareness of and advocacy for open education. How can librarians
provide meaningful support and be an integral partner to the different
stakeholders on campus to encourage and sustain OER adoptions? More
importantly, she will share how we as a community can ensure that our work is
supported, valued, and celebrated. Throughout the rest of the day learn about how
libraries are supporting OER in specific subject areas, developing partnerships
with faculty and students, using OER in the classroom, cataloging OER
materials, and much more.<u></u><u></u></font></p>
