Fw: [LibOER] Fwd: Cataloging OER: MARC & OPAC optimization

Here’s a link to our OER MARC Template<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qRvWqGdrRw11zpKDVMWZWM4BIstAN6frkla…> – please share with your catalogers and systems librarians! This initially started because we have a collection development policy to add anything to our collection that’s published by our faculty. There’s no reason this should exclude OER, but not having MARC fields to highlight the open content was a barrier to discovery. So we decided to solve that through local cataloging rules that track and display the following: • 2 subject headings that indicate a resource is OER (653_6<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd653.html>: uncontrolled genre/form terms): OER and Open educational resources • Attribution Statement which includes the license type (540<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd540.html>: terms governing use and reproduction) • Relationship between print and electronic versions of the same OER (776<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd776.html>: Additional physical form) • Funding source, if the OER was created on a specific grant • Link to original and derivative works (787<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd787.html>: Other relationship entry) • Course outcomes (sometimes difficult to ascertain without speaking with the author) • OER revision/remix statement – a note from the author explaining how the derivative differs from the original For a detailed explanation of what, how, and why we did this, see our recent article “Leveraging Cataloging and Collection Development Expertise to Improve OER Discovery” OLA Quarterly, Vol. 25, No. 1 (2019)<https://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/vol25/iss1/6/>. After that went to print, we figured out how to reconfigure our OPAC to make this OER metadata visible to our patrons. Most of the fields above are searchable, particularly the 653_6 field that indicates a resource is OER. Using that field, we built a LibGuides search box that scopes just to the OER bibs in our catalog. You can see that here, https://libguides.mhcc.edu/oer/guide We have not yet loaded our OER MARC records into OCLC, as we want to get through this proof of concept first and have some discussions with our peers. There might be better ways to use MARC than what we’ve done here, but this is our first shot and so far it’s working quite well for us. We are excited to share it with you all! -Heather Heather White, MLS Library Technical Services & OER Coordinator Mt Hood Community College 26000 SE Stark St., Gresham, OR 97030 503-491-7106 heather.white(a)mhcc.edu<mailto:heather.white(a)mhcc.edu> “Study, learn, help one another always.” – Chief Plenty Coups -- If you have any questions about this group, contact lizyata(a)oeconsortium.org<mailto:lizyata(a)oeconsortium.org> --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CCCOER Advisory" group.

Math problems - copyright and OER
by Lovsin, Darcye A. 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hello BCOEL, I have a copyright/OER question that has me stumped. The math department is creating an open textbook and were told that math problems are 'facts' and therefore are not protected by copyright. They want to confirm if this means they can use commercial textbook math problems in their OER. (Thank you Lindsay for locating where this information may be from: a US Copyright Office Publication<https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ31.pdf>). Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate Canadian specific information on copyright and math problems, or if how 'original' the math problem is matters. My initial reaction is that, even if a math problem is 'fact', there is still work and originality that goes into creating math problems for commercial textbooks. Has anyone helped create a math OER that has some insight? >From my understanding the problems are calculus problems, so heavy symbol/number based instead of language heavy.
