Hi Linda and Sunni,
As the maintainers of the BC Open Textbook Collection MARC records, I thought the below info about how to address discoverability of OER would be of interest to you...in case you haven't seen this already.
Best regards,
Lauri

Dear Colleagues,
I'm forwarding with permission from the CCCOER list.
Heather White and Holly Wheeler at MHCC in Oregon have created an OER MARC template to better enable optimize OER discovery via OPACs. Please share this information with your catalogers and/or systems librarians.
Any comments or questions should go to Heather/Holly. Thanks Heather and Holly for this much needed contribution!
Warm regards,
Anita

Hi everyone,
Here at Mt Hood Community College (MHCC), our Cataloging & Metadata Specialist and I have been working to leverage MARC records to make OER easier to find.
Here’s a link to our OER MARC Template<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qRvWqGdrRw11zpKDVMWZWM4BIstAN6frkla…> – please share with your catalogers and systems librarians!
This initially started because we have a collection development policy to add anything to our collection that’s published by our faculty. There’s no reason this should exclude OER, but not having MARC fields to highlight the open content was a barrier to discovery. So we decided to solve that through local cataloging rules that track and display the following:
• 2 subject headings that indicate a resource is OER (653_6<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd653.html>: uncontrolled genre/form terms): OER and Open educational resources
• Attribution Statement which includes the license type (540<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd540.html>: terms governing use and reproduction)
• Relationship between print and electronic versions of the same OER (776<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd776.html>: Additional physical form)
• Funding source, if the OER was created on a specific grant
• Link to original and derivative works (787<https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd787.html>: Other relationship entry)
• Course outcomes (sometimes difficult to ascertain without speaking with the author)
• OER revision/remix statement – a note from the author explaining how the derivative differs from the original
For a detailed explanation of what, how, and why we did this, see our recent article “Leveraging Cataloging and Collection Development Expertise to Improve OER Discovery” OLA Quarterly, Vol. 25, No. 1 (2019)<https://commons.pacificu.edu/olaq/vol25/iss1/6/>.
After that went to print, we figured out how to reconfigure our OPAC to make this OER metadata visible to our patrons. Most of the fields above are searchable, particularly the 653_6 field that indicates a resource is OER. Using that field, we built a LibGuides search box that scopes just to the OER bibs in our catalog. You can see that here, https://libguides.mhcc.edu/oer/guide
We have not yet loaded our OER MARC records into OCLC, as we want to get through this proof of concept first and have some discussions with our peers. There might be better ways to use MARC than what we’ve done here, but this is our first shot and so far it’s working quite well for us. We are excited to share it with you all!

Hello Everyone,
Below is a list of the latest at BCcampus OpenEd.
New books added to the B.C. Open Textbook Collection
* Technical Writing Essentials<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=83…> by University of Victoria professor, Suzan Last, is designed to introduce readers to the basics of professional communications in technical fields: audience and task analysis in workplace contexts, clear and concise communications style, effective document design, teamwork and collaboration, and fundamental research skills.
* Introduction to Psychology (University of Saskatchewan)<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=9e…> by Jorden Cummings and Lee Sanders, is a combination of original content and materials compiled and adapted from a number of open textbooks. This new version includes a Key Terms list for each chapter, an expanded glossary, and H5P chapter self-tests.
Support resource update
* The Post-Secondary Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/postsecondary/> now includes a section on open education in all provinces and territories in Canada
We are looking for Subject Matter Experts (SME) from B.C. or other parts of Canada to review textbooks being considered for the B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/>. See the list of Books open for review by Canadian faculty<https://opentextbc.ca/oerdiscipline/front-matter/b-c-open-textbook-collecti…>. Contact bookreviews(a)bccampus.ca if you are interested in providing an SME review.
Help us identify the gaps
Contact opentext(a)bccampus.ca if you would like to see open textbooks made available for specific subject areas in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/>. In particular, we'd like to hear of topics in these areas: business, early childhood education (ECE), health, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), and trades.
For the most current open education information, look at these continuously updated directories.
* Information Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/openedinfo/> - Research, articles, blogs, and books related to open education in Canada, the U.S., and Global North, and Global South regions
* OER by Discipline Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/oerdiscipline/> - Lists a wide range of OER by discipline. It acts as a referatory with the resource name and link, its licence, and a short description. Discipline-specific collections are also included.
* Post-Secondary Directory<https://opentextbc.ca/postsecondary/> - An inventory of all things open for each post-secondary institution in B.C., and the provinces and territories in Canada
