Open Access, Open Educational Resources, Open Everything!
The College Open Textbooks Collaborative, which emerged from the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources, includes “twenty-nine educational non-profit and for-profit organizations, affiliated with more than 200 colleges.”
Their website offers a list of open textbooks and other open educational resources by subject. They also offer peer reviews of many open educational resources, to assist faculty in choosing material for their courses.
This year’s Open Access Week — the 6th year for this international event — is scheduled to take place October 21-27. If you’re planning an event at your campus to celebrate, please let us know so we can include it here! Last year there were lots of fantastic events across the university, and there are surely lots of great plans in the works for this year, too.
Email your event info to [email protected] or post it on our Open Access Publishing Network @ CUNY forum and we’ll be sure to add it here.
And if you’re looking for posters, info sheets, logos, or other materials to use for Open Access Week on your campus, definitely check out the OA Week website. There’s even a gorgeous new poster for this year:
