This document discusses the relationship between MOOCs and libraries. It notes that the British Library has partnered with FutureLearn to offer its digitized resources to MOOC participants. FutureLearn will have office space in the British Library. The document then discusses how libraries can adapt to better support MOOCs, such as through online tutorials, favoring electronic materials, and exploring new licensing options. Key roles for libraries are identified, such as content creation and storage, discovery, procurement and advising on ownership issues like copyright and fair use. Challenges like determining ownership of created content and using third-party content are examined. The importance of open access for MOOCs is discussed.

Open Access Week and Beyond (OLA Super Conference)Robyn Hall
Poster presented at the Ontario Library Association Super Conference in Toronto on February 26, 2010.
Abstract: Academic librarians’ support of open access publishing initiatives has enhanced library collections, research innovation and the visibility of institutions’ output. Many have paid less attention, however, to educating university students about open access resources. Drawing on exemplary promotional efforts, this poster describes ways that Canadian academic librarians might ensure students know about open access resources and understand their potential uses and limitations, from actively participating in Open Access Week to integrating open access topics into instruction sessions and beyond. During the poster session, information about recent developments in the open access movement in Canada will also be made available.
Open to Opportunity: Possibilities for libraries in open education Sarah Cohen
Libraries around the country, and the world, are increasingly devoting time and resources to open education. But why? In what way are libraries part of this movement and how does it serve our missions and services? This presentation will describe the value that libraries’ engagement in this space can offer to our institutions, our students, and our profession; and, to outline possible ways forward for libraries that are interested in committing their limited resources to this transformative effort.

There is huge potential for universities and their libraries to leverage Wikimedia in order to expose research outputs and collections. Wikimedia comprises sixteen projects in total, including Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. At the University of Leeds, the Research Data Management Service have successfully run a project that focuses on linking research data with the Wikimedia suite of tools via a series of ‘editathons’, in order to increase the visibility of research data and enable reuse on Wikipedia and elsewhere. The project - "Manage it locally to share it globally: RDM and Wikimedia Commons" - was the winning submission to a competition launched in May 2018 and sponsored by SPARC Europe, Jisc and the University of Cambridge, called the "Data Management Engagement Award", which aimed to address cultural challenges involved in promoting effective research data practices.
The project has served as a springboard to further explore Wikimedia strategically, both at the University of Leeds and across the White Rose Consortium. For example we are collaborating on a new project looking at Wikipedia citations of research from York, Sheffield and Leeds, and the proportion of these that are open access. The long term goal might be to establish a "Wikimedian in Residence" across the consortium. In this talk, we will present the project's outputs - including a toolkit that will enable other institutions to apply the same methodology. In addition we will explore the potential of Wikidata to link up repositories and other data silos in a manner that enables reuse and increases impact.

Public version of presentation proposing research project to look at libraries/ librarians ' role in relation to Open Educational Resources.
[this version edited to remove some context]
According to the Open Education Consortium, “sharing is probably the most basic characteristic of education: education is sharing knowledge, insights, and information with others, upon which new knowledge, skills, ideas, and understanding can be built." Whether they are purchased or freely acquired, librarians should be open to sharing their resources to everyone who wants to use them to enrich their lives through education. Open Education Resources (OER) include resources or tools that can be used and modified for free and without any legal or technical barriers, and when used properly can help foster a transparent culture of learning and engagement in our communities. In this webinar:
• Learn what Open Education Resources (OER) are and how they can be used to engender trust, generate rigorous learning opportunities, and potentially lead to smarter decision-making strategies.
• Discover a variety of OER and Open Access (OA) repositories to find accessible and authoritative resources, including textbooks, to use in curriculum.
• Acquire OER strategies for developing a variety of educational opportunities using a variety of formats.
•Understand various issues (e.g., GDPR) impacting OER in libraries.
What do academic libraries have to do with open educational resourcesR. John Robertson
This paper (preprint for Open Ed 2010) will discuss the possible roles of academic libraries in promoting, supporting, and sustaining institutional Open Educational Resource initiatives. It will note areas in which libraries or librarians have skills and knowledge that intersect with some of the needs of academic staff and students as they use and release OERs. It will also present the results of a brief survey of the views of some OER initiatives on the current and potential role of academic libraries.

Watch out, it's behind you: publishers' tactics and the challenge they pose f...Danny Kingsley
This presentation to the libraries@cambridge conference held on the 7th January 2016 describes some of the more surprising activities academic publishers are engaged in and discusses the opportunities and threats these pose for the library community. Prepared and presented by Sally Rumsey Head of Scholarly Communications & RDM, Bodleian Libraries, Oxford University and Dr Danny Kingsley Head of Scholarly Communication, Cambridge University Libraries.
Open Educational Resources (OERs) have received much attention in the past few years both nationally and internationally—as the innovation du jour for teaching and learning. The presenters will offer an overview of the OER landscape and participants will learn how to find and implement OERs in eLearning courses. The presenters will also discuss opportunities to participate in a Next Gen grant, "Bridge to Success (B2S)" which they received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Presented by Brandon Muramatsu, Patrick McAndrew, Jean Runyon, Shelley Hintz, and Kathy Warner to the Instructional Technology Council Webinar on September 20, 2011.
Explores how library collections have been, are and will be built in the context of changing information-seeking behavior, changes in the nature of collections, the social web, and new enabling technology.
Open Educational Resources (OER): The Landscape of the FutureBrandon Muramatsu
The phrase “open educational resource” was coined at a UNESCO forum in 2002, and OERs are “educational resources (e.g., textbooks, instructional modules, simulations, multimedia applications) that are freely available for use, reuse, adaptation, and sharing.” Such materials are generally released under a Creative Commons that supports open or nearly open use of the content. OER expand access to high quality instructional resources in formal and informal learning situations to more students and they have the potential to drive innovation to support effective teaching. OER can be endorsed, adopted, and improved by educators, resulting in instructional materials and resources that embody what the educational community sees as most valuable. Furthermore, learners can take advantage of access OER to direct their own learning.
This session will include an introduction and review of the OER movement, highlights of OER initiatives (such as MIT’s OpenCourseWare project and the Open University’s Open Learn), a summary of the elements of Creative Commons licenses, a review of open educational resources for use in discipline-specific courses, and strategies for evaluating, adopting and/or developing OERs for use in traditional and online courses. In addition, the session will include an overview of the Bridge to Success project, deliverables and impact.

Challenges and opportunities for academic librarieslisld
Research and learning behaviors are changing in a network environment. What challenges do Academic libraries face? What opportunities do they have? A presentation given at a symposium on the future of academic libraries at the Open University.
Session presented at a conference of the Academic and Research Libraries Division of the Minnesota Library Association.
What is a MOOC, what is it like to take one, why are they important, and what do they have to do with libraries? This session will provide answers to these questions and give attendees a closer look through the presenter’s experience as a participant in seven different courses in 2012.
Participants will be better prepared to discuss and make use of the opportunities and challenges these new learning communities present to our institutions. Come learn about the different kinds of MOOCs, how they can be used to learn new skills, how they implement and share open educational materials, and other topics to engage your colleagues and campus community in conversations about their future.

2. “The British Library has announced its intention to join the UK’s Mooc platform FutureLearn Ltd, offering participants
of its online courses access to the Library’s unique digitised resources.” - February 18, 2013
“FutureLearn…. will be taking up residency in the British Library as part of a commercial leasing agreement…. Steve
Morris, the British Library’s Chief Financial Officer, said ‘As an organisation with higher education and digital
innovation at its core, FutureLearn are a natural fit as a tenant of the Library, and we look forward to welcoming them
to the building.’” – January 13, 2014

4. Library products being built with MOOCs in mind
SIPX, e-reserves software, prices per-use based on user’s profile, so that
international users are charged accordingly
5. Adapting Library Units –
Heading in a MOOC-friendly Direction
• Reference – answering questions for non-BC students (we
do this already with cooperative chat services)
• Instruction – online research tutorials
• Building collections – favoring electronic journals and books
• Special collections – unique content, often not in copyright,
suitable for course enhancement, of interest to outside
community
• Tech services – work for new licensing options
• Access services – who can use the physical space and
collections?
• AIT – Tools for building MOOCs
6. Library Roles
• Content creation (work with AIT)
• Content storage (locally produced and
institutional repositories)
• Content discovery
• Content procurement & ownership (practical and
advisory)
– Subscription licensing
– Open access
– Navigating copyright and fair use
• User instruction and support
8. Library Roles (Practical & Advisory):
Content Procurement & Ownership
• What you create: who owns it?
• What others create: can you use it?
• MOOC as content generating engine (student
data): what can be done with this? FERPA
issues
9. Content You Create
• Work for hire
• Teacher exemption
• Using campus resources
• Multiple creators
• Conflict of interest / use of time
• Competing with other offerings of the institutions
• Taking content away with you
• Making a profit on the content
10. Using the Content of Others:
Copyright & Fair Use Tips
• Be conservative in estimating fair use
• Ask for permissions
• Sell the idea of use as a benefit to creator – e.g.:
more students will buy a publisher’s book; look
for “light” versions of textbooks
• Mine the public domain; use links rather than
downloading
• Don’t use content purely for decorative purposes,
or if it is not germane to what is being taught
11. Fair Use Guidance in the Face of Uncertainty
• What are the copyright rules when it comes to delivering course materials
to tens of thousands of individuals worldwide?
• Does it matter if content will be beamed to a country without fair use
principles in its copyright regime?
• Does fair use fail if the platform provider is explicitly for profit?
• Does an institution’s not‐for‐profit status as the content creator continue
to support fair use under the first fair use factor?
• Does this balance tilt again if the institution has begun to explore
“monetization” options?

Preferencing Open Access Content:
Examples of Teaching & Library Challenges from Real Life
1. Peer-reviewed journal articles on the web
2. Videos on Youtube
13. Peer-reviewed Journal Article
• Students are assigned this article to read:
Chiasson M, Findley S, McLeod N, et al. Changing WIC changes what children
eat. Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) [serial online]. July 2013;21(7):1423-1429.
• First, find the Journal in the Library E-Journal Finder:
See: Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) (1930-7381)
• EMBARGO!
from 01/01/2009 to 1 year ago in MEDLINE with Full Text
14. • Is this article out there on the web
somewhere?
• Search Google:
Chiasson Findley McLeod Changing WIC
15.
16. Google link takes us straight to the open
access conference paper, but this as the
context is not yet clear.
17. Will the course instructor who assigned the article accept the
conference paper instead?
18. But I Found it on Youtube!
• Assignment for students to watch Powell and
Pressburger films
• BC library collection is limited
• Students will find some of these (illegally
uploaded on Youtube (Oh…Rosalinda!)
• Should faculty direct them to this source?
19. Can you, with good conscience, support MOOCs and not
support open access?
Jason Mittell, “The Real Digital Change Agent.”
https://chronicle.com/article/The-Real-Digital-Change-Agent/137589/
“I am fascinated by the contrasting rhetoric between the rapid-boil fervor over MOOCs and
the barely simmering apathy for open-access policies, especially at the institutional level.
MOOCs are often touted in university news releases as being motivated by the desire to
increase access to work of faculty freely across the globe.…
Fewer than 20 percent of the American institutions that have formed partnerships with
Coursera [the MOOC provider] are also members of Coapi [Coalition of Open Access Policy
Institutions ]. That seems downright hypocritical to me, as opening access to faculty research
would help level hierarchies and tear down boundaries between academics and the public,
between major research universities and less-wealthy institutions, and between the
developed and developing worlds. Access to the average journal article might do little to
change the world. But making the bulk of scholarly research freely available could transform
the possibilities of educational uplift, scientific discovery, and public engagement with
academic work.”
