FYI... -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [lpc-l] GVSU professor recognized for library-published OER Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 19:59:26 +0000 From: Matt Ruen <ruenm(a)gvsu.edu> To: LPC-L <lpc-l(a)lists.purdue.edu> I'm excited to share the news that Grand Valley State University mathematics professor Ted Sundstrom is to receive the inaugural Daniel Solow Author's Award from the Mathematical Association of America, in recognition of /Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof/ <http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/books/9/>, an open educational resource published through ourScholarWorks(a)GVSU <http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/>repository platform. The Daniel Solow Author's Award celebrates authors whose materials have had a positive impact on undergraduate mathematics education. /Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof/is one of our favorite OER and library publishing success stories: after Dr. Sundstrom reclaimed his copyright from the original commercial publisher, the GVSU Libraries helped him make the textbook openly available online to a growing global audience. Dr. Sundstrom's textbook has been formally adopted at 47 universities, while the digital editions in ScholarWorks were downloaded more than 22,000 times in 2016 alone! On behalf of the GVSU Libraries' scholarly communications team, congratulations to Dr. Sundstrom! ---------- For more about Dr. Sundstrom, his textbook, and this award, see this article from GVSU's University Communications team:http://www.gvsu.edu/gvnow/2017/professor-to-receive-inaugural-mathematics-aw...
