Carterette Series
Webinar
(Georgia Library
Association and the Georgia Public Library Service)
“Open
Educational Resources: Librarians as Advocates, Advisors, and Creators”
Date
& Time: July 29, 2015 -- 2PM EST (1PM CST | 12PM MST | 11AM PST)
Presenter: Mary
Ann Cullen is the Director of Library Services for Georgia Perimeter College’s
Alpharetta Campus and GPC Online. She first became involved with OERs in March
2013 after the college’s president challenged the faculty to find free or
low-cost alternatives to traditional textbooks to help reduce costs for
students. She participated in identifying, selecting and adapting an OER text
for Freshman English, a project currently being expanded. Currently, she is
working with science faculty on a project that uses readings from a library
database in lieu of a traditional textbook.
Description: College
textbooks have gotten so expensive that many students are opting not to buy the
textbook at all, but are taking their chances at lower grades or resorting to
work-arounds like sharing textbooks, photocopying from classmates, or finding
illegal copies. An increasing number of educators are seeking alternatives to
traditional texts, including open educational resources (OERs) and library
resources. This webinar will introduce you to what OERs are (and aren’t) and
how librarians can support this movement as advocates, advisors, and
participants in creating OERs. While primarily directed at academic librarians
and administrators, the information provided also applies to media specialists
and public librarians who work with home schoolers interested in free and
low-cost educational resources.

ever Rural Adult Education Program was born. Join us to hear how the library's
