“…Academic libraries are also engaged in advocating OE through workshops and discussions (Crozier, 2018), which generate awareness and encourage adoption. Walz (2015) has made an inventory of opportunities, depicting the support that libraries can provide. These are, among others, related to the finding, the design, the adoption, the implementation, and the sharing processes.…”

New Review of Academic Librarianship

Opportunities for academic libraries to enrich their products and services through facilitating open education (OE) in higher education are presented in an overview of good practices. A case study of open textbook publishing was performed at TU Delft to study how these products and services could stimulate educators to adopt OE. A simplified user acceptance model of innovation was developed and applied to the case study, to study the educator's mind-set before and after they published an open textbook with the support of the TU Delft Library. Using the insights that were gained from the case study and from good practices of other university libraries, recommendations are presented for professionalizing products and services by academic libraries to facilitate the adoption of OE into educational practice and to develop institutional policies and regulations that support educators with these practices.

While many OER use Creative Commons licenses, this is not true for all of them, and even within Creative Commons there are a variety of rights that can be reserved or given away.…”
