Hello Everyone! My colleague and our Northern Regional Representative, Carolee Clyne, has been investigating WorldCat in alignment with our findability work at BCcampus. She and I spoke today about WorldCat and are wondering if you might know something about the way in which OER are placed in there? How is the OER captured etc?

We are committed to building relationships with the first peoples here, one based in honour and respect, and we thank them for their hospitality.
