OER in Institutional Repositories
by Fields, Erin 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hello, I have a question related to how people deal with open educational resources in their institutional repositories. Are there any best practices/processes you use for the metadata? Do you have particular Dublin Core fields and descriptors, keywords you use, or descriptive information that makes it easier to find within your repository? Thanks for any help you can give! Erin

Please join virtually on March 10th from 10am-11:30am for the BC Open Education Librarians' (BCOEL) Open Ed Week event: Finding the Free Path: Making Zero-Textbook-Cost Courses Visible. Our panel of speakers will describe how they made ZTC course information visible and discoverable at their institutions and how highlighting or marking ZTC courses allowed students to make informed decisions regarding the cost of their course materials. The event is aimed at all open education advocates looking for practical information to help them expand the visibility of open education at their institutions.
