PDA Event: Developing a Shared OER Collection in an Institutional Repository

Librarians from five campuses will discuss the creation of a cross-disciplinary collection of open educational resources (OER) in their shared institutional repository, including how they developed a permanent record of faculty-produced OER and made faculty-created educational materials more discoverable. Session participants will gain insight into the creation of collaborative collection policies, collection structure design, and shared workflows. The pandemic reinforced the importance of developing digital repositories in libraries. This initiative is a collaborative effort to expand access and further open access and open education. Through this collaboration, the partner libraries were able to share expertise to accelerate the development of digital repositories across their institutions.

Presenters:
Amie Freeman, University of South Carolina;
Dan Brackmann, University of South Carolina School of Law;
Natalia Bowdoin, University of South Carolina Aiken;
Kim Kelley, University of South Carolina Beaufort
