Context
Open Education and OER movement gaining momentumi
In particular in BC with the Open Textbook project
Postsecondary Librarians well positioned and much needed for leadership role – advocacy and consulting
Librarians have:
Expertise in searching for, curating and organizing high quality educational resources
Established trusted relationships with faculty at their institutions
Always been early adopters of technology
student interests at heart /advocates
Long track record as excellent collaborators
BCOER
Informal and grassroots group - began December 2013 as one answer to what could post sec librarians be doing help faculty learn about OER
Began as a conversation with fellow librarians on how to address adoption of open textbooks and use of quality OER
met to explore ideas
Identified need and desire to co-develop practical OER tools/guides for faculty and support librarians/colleagues to do this
Agreed to
Work collaboratively on OER guides, subject guides and tools to support OER awareness & advocacy
Share Information & resources & broader librarian community
Focus on projects with immediate and mid-term benefits
Advocate for longer term: ongoing professional development for librarians
12 BC Public Postsecondary institutions have participants on our working group
Meet monthly via teleconference
Wikispace and a group list
Supported by BCcampus
4 or 5 Monthly meetings then decided in order to really get something done we needed some dedicated time.
In early May 2014 – BCOER Hackfest – crowdsourced ideas on that were most in need interest
Day of the event we selected OER repository Assessment rubric/ Science repositories & developing some OER Advocacy tools.
14 attendees – BCOER & UBC Library students
Group one: focused on testing a newly developed OER Assessment rubric. They reviewed 40 Science OER repositories
Group two: focused on developing an OER Poster as a tool to engage faculty and discussed ideas for professional development for librarians
Main Challenge with Co-development of the Subject Guides = a collaborative space that would be accessible by the team/cross institutional.
Content would need to be able to be used in Libguides and other web pages (WordPress)
To address an immediate need for OER Primer guidesa team from the BCOER (KPU, BCIT, Douglas College) collaborated developed a set of OER Primer guides. These were available in Sept 2014.
Posting links shortly on the open.bccampus.ca site
We’re pleased to see Dalhousie and St. FX Libraries Have reused this content in their Libguides!

Happening right now
Develop and test collaborative space and how it will work to co-develop content, share in its maintenance
Challenge: need access cross institutionally and need a way for content to be output in a variety of forms – libguides and Wordpress
Currently testing Mediawiki – a BCcampus supported site
