20 Aug '18

Hi all, I got a question from BCcampus asking us where the MARC records for the BC Open Textbook Collection are kept now. There used to be a link on the website. Anyone have any ideas? Or could put it back on somewhere? Thanks, Brenda

Possible Open Ed Residency 2019
by Fields, Erin 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hello All, I recently had a conversation with Jonas Lamb. Jonas is a librarian at the University of Alaska Southeast and will be going on a six month sabbatical in 2019. He is interested in using some of that time to work on Open Ed projects in BC, particularly Pressbooks. He is interested in finding a 2-4 week residency in BC (paid by his institution) to work on Open Ed related issues. If there are any suggestions, please contact him at: j.lamb(a)alaska.edu<mailto:j.lamb(a)alaska.edu> Also, he would like to join the bcoel listserv but I’m not sure how he goes about doing that. Can someone help him out?

Open Access Week (October 2018) -- interest in jointly planning/hosting an event?
by Hope Power 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi all, At our last BCOEL Steering Committee meeting I'd checked to see if there was interest in jointly planning and hosting an event for Open Access Week (October 22-28) this fall. This year's theme is Designing Equitable Foundations for Open Knowledge and additional details are available here: https://tinyurl.com/y7sk6wrr If you're interested, please let me know (say by early next week?) and I'll work on finding a meeting time for an initial brainstorming and planning session. I'm also copying my colleague Kate Shuttleworth, Digital Scholarship Librarian, on this message as she'll be coordinating much of our Open Access Week programming at SFU this fall as well. Cheers, Hope -- Hope Power Teaching & Learning Librarian W.A.C. Bennett Library (Burnaby) Simon Fraser University hpower(a)sfu.ca / 778.782.4359

Follow up notes from today's BCOEL Steering Committee
by Brenda Smith 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Hi everyone, A few follow-up items from today's steering committee meeting. Caroline will contact BCcampus about changing the link to our website. Just a reminder that all BCOEL steering committee members have to be on a working group. If you are on the steering committee, but your name does not appear in a working group below, please let me know which group(s) you would like to join. We are particularly looking for more members of the PD and Advocacy groups. Website and Networked Tools Caroline Daniels, Lucas Wright, Michel Castagné, Darcye Lovsin Recruitment and External Engagement Brenda Smith, Debra Flewelling Professional Development and Advocacy Hope Power, Martin Warkentin, Lin Brander In today's meeting we also formed a new working group related to Pressbooks. Caroline and Lin have agreed to be on this committee, and we're looking for one or two others to join them. We also established a group to work on the Wikispaces Conversion. The committee decided to use etherpad instead of google drive. Brenda will be in touch with the etherpad details. Brenda and Debra had already agreed to work on moving over the content from Wikispaces to another platform. Hope and Darcye will also work on this project. Debra, if you aren't able to participate, please let me know. We have tentatively scheduled an in-person sprint/meeting for either Thursday, November 1st or Monday, November 5th. We will discuss this further at the next Steering Committee meeting. The will of the group today was to hold the next teleconference in the third week of September in a morning. I'll send around a Doodle poll soon to see what works best for everyone, so we can put it in our calendars now before the fall semester starts and all of us have crazy schedules. If you have any questions, please let me or Lin know. Thanks! Brenda
