Fw: Sharing the open textbook look-up tool?
by Lindsay Tripp 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hi again all, Based on the number of interested emails I received, I am forwarding the files Jennifer Weldon created for the BCcampus open textbook collection look-up tool with the whole list. Lauri, Jennifer (who works on contract with both Langara and VCC) created the tool and was happy for me to share the code with BCcampus and the wider open ed community. No sense re-inventing the wheel! 😉 Best, Lindsay ________________________________ From: Jennifer Weldon Sent: Monday, June 17, 2019 8:39 AM To: Lindsay Tripp Subject: RE: Sharing the open textbook look-up tool? Hi Lindsay, I’ve finished annotating the code snippet/styling for the Open Textbook search box. I’ve attached it as a .html file and as a .txt file. Feel free to share it with anyone who wants it, and I am happy to answer any questions that arise. Best, Jennifer From: Lindsay Tripp <ltripp(a)langara.ca> Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2019 12:47 PM To: Jennifer Weldon <jweldon(a)langara.ca> Subject: Sharing the open textbook look-up tool? Hi Jennifer, I attended the BC Open Ed Librarians retreat at BCIT Vancouver yesterday and a few attendees asked if you would be willing to share the BC Open Textbook Collection look-up tool you created for the VCC and Langara open ed LibGuides. If you are, I’m wondering about the best way to share it(?) Any suggestions are welcome!

Follow up on yesterday's meeting - LibGuides as course OER
by Flewelling, Debra 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Hi all, I mentioned yesterday about a thread in the SPARC listserv about LibGuides as a hosting platform for OER.. Here are some examples given: http://ega.libguides.com/alghist1112 https://ega.libguides.com/ALGHIST1111/L1 https://libguides.lcc.edu/abnormal_psych/home https://getlibraryhelp.highlands.edu/c.php?g=722488&p=5150888 https://guides.lib.jjay.cuny.edu/oer/ACC308 http://nmc.libguides.com/psy250mccord/welcome I like this one – it’s interesting and friendly to their students as each source tell the students how to cite it (or rather how they want it cited) in MLA http://irsc.libguides.com/LIT2110VanCampOER/greenknight Why in a libguide? Some responded that the instructors do use the LMS but this was a way to share it more broadly and students have access to it even after they finish that course. Debra

BCOEL Summer meeting reminder
by Brenda Smith 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that we have the June BCOEL Steering Committee Meeting on Wednesday, June 12th at BCIT's Downtown Campus (555 Seymour Street, Vancouver) in room 481. The meeting will be from 9am to noon, but the room is booked for 8:30. We will not be providing refreshments due to budget issues, so please be sure to bring coffee/morning snack if so desired. We'll build in a longer coffee break in the agenda to give us time to go downstairs and get required caffeine. Some of the topics to discuss/work on include: o Youtube channel content o Maintaining website - who should do? How frequently? o Review decisions from January - are things working?; o What are our plans for the next year? o Time for working group to plan out remainder of the year and/or work on projects Could you let me know if you are still able (or are now able) to attend so that Lin and I have rough numbers? Also - attached are the November and May minutes. Thanks to Lin for doing those. I'm only working a half day today (first day back after a nasty case of bronchitis brought me to my knees), and I'm catching the early flight to Vancouver tomorrow morning for the Relais Users Group meeting, so responses may be delayed. Thanks, Brenda

If neither of them work, please let me know. Doodle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/rxh3pu3hrpaum6nq So far, we know that we want to talk about/work on the following: o Youtube channel content o Maintaining website - who should do? How frequently? o Review decisions from January - are things working?; o What are our plans for the next year? o Time for working group to plan out remainder of the year and/or work on projects Is there anything else that you think we should do during this time to make it productive?

BCOEL Youtube channel
by Martin Warkentin 13 May '19

13 May '19

Hello, all. I sorted out the account verification and uploaded the Open But Not Free event video to the BCOEL Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYkjalQZNtja3MWuOnoMuNg Please point me in the direction of anything else BCOER/BCOEL has done and I'll add those videos. And perhaps subscribe if you do that kind of thing: I think we have some more customisation options available if the channel has 100+ subscribers (which may be overly optimistic looking at the subscriber numbers for a few other related channels - Bccampus has 38...). As I recall, the primary reasons for having this channel was to make event videos more widely available and possibly use the streaming functionality at future events. If we meet in June we can discuss if there is anything else we might do. -Martin Martin Warkentin Copyright Librarian University of the Fraser Valley 33844 King Road, Abbotsford, BC Canada V2S 7M8 (604) 504-7441 Ext. 4460
