The prevalence of quality open access resources (OER) has grown exponentially over the last 10 years. Students are increasingly unable to afford the high costs of traditional textbooks, and faculty have responded by seeking out open access alternatives. What does this shift mean for academic libraries and how can you make OER easier to implement on your campus? Join us as we explore how students and researchers are already using OER, investigate the trends in higher education that are prompting the movement, and uncover how CloudSource – the OA-forward discovery platform from SirsiDynix – is changing how you discover and use open educational resources.
