Developing a Shared OER Collection in an Institutional Repository
Librarians from five campuses will discuss the creation of a cross-disciplinary collection of open educational resources (OER) in their shared institutional repository, including how they developed a permanent record of faculty-produced OER and made faculty-created educational materials more discoverable. Session participants will gain insight into the creation of collaborative collection policies, collection structure design, and shared workflows. The pandemic reinforced the importance of developing digital repositories in libraries. This initiative is a collaborative effort to expand access and further open access and open education. Through this collaboration, the partner libraries were able to share expertise to accelerate the development of digital repositories across their institutions.
Registration is required. This webinar will be recorded.
Presenters:
Amie Freeman, University of South Carolina

Hands-on craft projects can be a great way to connect with library users, spark interest in a particular collection, serve as a fun de-stressing activity during finals week, and introduce users to preservation and book arts. Join the CARLI Preservation Committee for a webinar focusing on easy outreach crafts, including “snake” book weights and two simple sewn books. No preservation experience is required to host one of these activities in your library!
