This award is presented every year to an academic library team or individual who has made a real difference to students, faculty or colleagues in British Columbia. Launched in March 2019, OPUS<https://www.kpu.ca/library/OPUS> - a suite of Library services and tools - was created to support faculty at various stages in producing their Open Education Resources. This support has helped foster the creation of over 20 Open textbooks as well as several journals and the inclusion of a variety of faculty authored materials in KPU’s institutional repository. In addition to one-on-one consultations, the Team has also created several guides and workshops for faculty and students related to various aspects of Open Access and publishing, as well as sharing their knowledge with libraries at other institutions wanting to create their own Open publishing program. Please join me in congratulating our wonderful colleagues and OPUS Team members: Caroline Daniels, Systems, Web & Interlibrary Loans Librarian Karen Meijer-Kline, Scholarly Communications Librarian Paula Pinter, Library Technician Beverly Whiticutt, Library Technician Syreen Prestonji, Library Technician Urooj Nizami, Open Education Strategist [Text Description automatically generated] [logo gif] Rajiv Jhangiani, Ph.D. (pronouns: he/him/his; proper pronunciation<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthatpsychprof.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F12%2FR%25C3%25A4j%25C4%2593v-D%25CA%2592%25CA%25B1%25C4%2581ng%25C4%2593%25C3%25A4n%25C4%2593.m4a&data=04%7C01%7Candrew.frank%40kpu.ca%7Cbc723543c222490e44c908d93b22c8c1%7C66b9f62d3042495eaab6db86f21500c0%7C0%7C0%7C637605842886798710%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=E%2FREGWj9pAbsToOr%2Fdw07e8UtuPtNK3RijITLK1xBb8%3D&reserved=0>) Associate Vice President, Teaching and Learning Kwantlen Polytechnic University t 604.599.3253 e rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca<mailto:rajiv.jhangiani(a)kpu.ca> www.kpu.ca/tlcommons<http://www.kpu.ca/tlcommons> | www.kpu.ca/cps<http://www.kpu.ca/cps> | www.kpu.ca/open<http://www.kpu.ca/open> Administrative Coordinator: Janice Webster t 604.598.6215 e janice.webster(a)kpu.ca<mailto:janice.webster(a)kpu.ca> This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.
