Fw: Call for Reviewers from CHOICE
Hi Everyone, I received this email request to review OER resources, but was unsure if this is a legitimate entity (we get spammed with so many fake journals/conferences etc.). Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of 'CHOICE' or the 'association of college and research libraries"?

Hi Jessie, I'll chime in and agree with Heather. The Association of College & Research Libraries is a division of the American Library Association. http://www.ala.org/acrl/choice/about This sounds like a wonderful and very useful database for us when looking for OER. To have faculty provide reviews will be invaluable so I would encourage you to participate in reviewing OER. I am, however, assuming that their new online database "Open Choice" will be in itself open and free for anyone to use. I would check with them on that first. I read about the database project in these minutes but I didn't seem to indicate either way - http://www.ala.org/acrl/sites/ala.org.acrl/files/content/acrlboard/ACRL%20SB...
