WHAT YOU CAN DO


Raise awareness of OA and OER, starting where people are at

@txtbks | #openUBC

Source http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2014/03/opinion/steven-bell/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-other-open-week-from-the-bell-tower/

“Whether it’s lack of motivation, conservatism, or a dominant tenure and promotion system, faculty may be slow to accept that our scholarly communication system is badly in need of reform. If that describes your institution, then you may decide, like I did nearly four years ago, to shift the conversation to OER.”

- Steven Bell, Temple University


Support the sharing of scholarship created on your campus, in all of its forms



Engage the next generation to advance openness.
