Have you noticed the cost of textbooks and other educational materials exponentially increasing??
Many institutions of higher education and PK-12 schools are experiencing the impact of this trend and are adopting open educational resources (OER) as alternatives for their students. Thus, libraries are starting to see OER as part of a trickle-down effect.
Join us as we explore the roles libraries of all types play in supporting OER.
Throughout the the day, a variety of peers and experts will present on a diverse range of OER topics. Register now for an action-packed day of information and knowledge and gain access to all presentations post-conference for later viewing.
