Dear BCOEL colleagues,
I wanted to share an invitation to the following event<https://www.lib.sfu.ca/help/publish/scholarly-publishing/33758> hosted during International Open Access Week<http://openaccessweek.org/>:
Event Title: Open but not Free: Invisible Labour in Open Scholarship<https://www.lib.sfu.ca/help/publish/scholarly-publishing/33758>
Date: Wednesday, October 24 - 5pm-8pm
Location: SFU Vancouver (Harbour Centre), Rm 7000
Registration: Register online here<https://www.lib.sfu.ca/help/publish/scholarly-publishing/33758>
“When we think about ‘open’ and labor, who do we imagine doing the work? What is the work we imagine being done? Who pays? Who benefits? (And how?)” - Audrey Watters<http://hackeducation.com/2018/05/04/cuny-labor-open>
In recent years, the open scholarship movement has gained momentum by aiming to fundamentally transform how knowledge is created and shared. Making open access, open data, and open education the default in higher education promises to remove barriers to learning and make knowledge as broadly accessible as possible. In practice, though, the rise of open scholarship has resulted in new challenges for practitioners and stakeholders working within a system in transition.
To what extent do the adoption of open practices and policies in higher education currently rely on invisible labour? And what may be the impact on the sustainability of the movement? Who is able to participate? Who may be excluded? How can open practitioners and stakeholders work together to ensure that diversity, equity, and inclusion are prioritized in the design of new and sustainable systems for scholarly research and teaching?
Please join SFU, BCIT, KPU, Langara, UFV and UBC and the BC Open Education Librarians (BCOEL)<https://bcoel.ca/> group for this Open Access Week <http://openaccessweek.org/> panel event<https://www.lib.sfu.ca/help/publish/scholarly-publishing/33758> on the topic of invisible labour in open scholarship.
Event schedule:
5pm-6pm: Reception with light refreshments served
6pm-8pm: Panel discussion and questions
Featured speakers include:
Melissa Ashman (KPU)
Sanjaya Mishra (Commonwealth of Learning)
Bruce Muir (Nun wa dee Stewardship Society)
Carol Munoz Nieves (SFU)
Juliet O’Brien (UBC)
Bronwyn Sprout - facilitator (UBC)
We hope to see many of you there! And please feel free to share this event information<https://www.lib.sfu.ca/help/publish/scholarly-publishing/33758> with others you think may be interested as well.
Thanks, Hope

Hello CanadaOER,
I’ve been lurking here for the past few weeks, and wanted to mention that I’ve entered the fray of this discussion list. I’ve posted below a news item we published today, and I wanted to thank once again the librarians who joined us for an exciting one-day discussion to identify opportunities for action within research libraries.

CARL Brings Together OER Librarian Leaders to Identify Priorities for Action (http://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/carl-brings-together-oer-librarian-leaders-to-…)
September 10, 2018. – On August 22, 2018, a group of librarians committed to advancing open educational resources (OER) came together at York University for a full day of discussion towards enhancing Canadian library and librarian involvement in post-secondary OER.
The Canadian Association of Research Libraries has been monitoring the development of OER for several years, and in 2014 carried out a survey of its members regarding their involvement in OER, subsequently producing a working paper, Open Textbooks: Opportunities for Research Libraries<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/doc/open_educational_resources.pdf>.
Four years later, it is clear that library involvement in OER (and open textbooks specifically) has increased substantially. Provincial funding programs and individual projects have been developed across Canada aimed at lowering the cost of student learning materials while also offering instructors accessible content that they can tailor and develop to suit their evolving pedagogical practices. In 2012 BCcampus launched Canada’s first publicly funded open textbook development project, followed by initiatives in Alberta, Manitoba, and most recently through Ontario’s eCampusOntario. Individual OER projects aimed at supporting a specific course or area of study have also cropped up at post-secondary educational institutions throughout Canada, often the result of collaborations involving faculty, librarians, and centres for teaching and learning. Internationally, SPARC has taken a leading role in OER and open education advocacy and training, offering in 2017-2018 a first instance of its in-depth Open Education Leadership Program<https://sparcopen.org/our-work/open-education-leadership-program/> for librarians (a second offering is set to launch this month).
To identify needs at the national level related to OER involvement by research libraries, CARL invited ten emerging and established library leaders in OER to a one-day working meeting.
The meeting was hosted by York University Libraries and led by York’s Dean of Libraries, Joy Kirchner, who also sits on CARL’s Advancing Research Committee. Also representing CARL was Lise Brin, Program Officer working primarily in open scholarship. The invited participants were:
* Nicole Allen, Director of Open Education, SPARC
* Dianne Cmor, Associate University Librarian, Teaching & Learning, Concordia University
* Inba Kehoe, Copyright Officer and Scholarly Communications Librarian, University of Victoria
* Maude Laplante-Dubé, Bibliothécaire-conseil - Diffusion de la recherche, Université Laval
* Ann Ludbrook, Copyright and Scholarly Engagement Librarian, Ryerson University
* Hope Power, Teaching & Learning Librarian, Simon Fraser University
* Stephanie Quail, Business Librarian, York University
* Lillian Rigling, Program Coordinator, eCampus Ontario
* Ali Versluis, Open Education Librarian, University of Guelph
* Amanda Wakaruk, Copyright Librarian, University of Alberta
Some of the ideas arising from this day of discussion included: creating a “bootcamp” for librarian leaders in OER based on a train-the-trainer philosophy, implementing a distributed regional network for increasing capacity for OER advocacy and creation within libraries, forging stronger relationships with other OER stakeholder groups, and creating a statement that articulates the case for library involvement in OER. These ideas will be brought to CARL’s Advancing Research Committee and Strengthening Capacity Committee for consideration in the next weeks with a view to confirming next steps into advancing the library involvement in the OER movement in Canada.

CARL members include Canada’s twenty-nine largest university libraries as well as two national libraries. Enhancing research and higher education are at the heart of its mission. CARL develops the capacity to support this mission, promotes effective and sustainable scholarly communication, and public policy that enables broad access to scholarly information.

L'ABRC assemble un groupe de bibliothécaires chefs de file en RÉL pour identifier les actions prioritaires (http://www.carl-abrc.ca/fr/nouvelles/abrc-assemble-bibliothecaires-rel/)
10 septembre 2018. – Le 22 août 2018, un groupe de bibliothécaires ayant à cœur de promouvoir les ressources éducatives libres (RÉL ou open educational resources - OER) s'est réuni pendant toute une journée à York University pour déterminer comment accroître la participation des bibliothèques et des bibliothécaires canadiens aux ressources éducatives libres au niveau postsecondaire.
L’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada surveille l’évolution des RÉL depuis plusieurs années et a mené en 2014 un sondage auprès de ses membres au sujet de leur intérêt pour les RÉL, produisant par la suite un document de travail intitulé Open Textbooks:<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/doc/open_educational_resources.pdf> Opportunities for Research Libraries<http://www.carl-abrc.ca/doc/open_educational_resources.pdf>.
Quatre ans plus tard, il est clair que l’engouement des bibliothèques pour les RÉL (et plus précisément pour les manuels en libre accès) a augmenté considérablement. Des programmes de financement provinciaux et des projets individuels ont été mis sur pied partout au Canada afin de réduire le coût des manuels et ressources éducatives des étudiants tout en offrant aux chargés de cours et professeurs un contenu accessible qu’ils peuvent adapter et développer en fonction de l’évolution de leurs pratiques pédagogiques. En 2012, le BCcampus a lancé le premier projet de création de manuels ouverts financé par le secteur public au Canada, et a fait des émules en Alberta, au Manitoba et, plus récemment en Ontario par l’entremise d’eCampusOntario. Des projets individuels de RÉL visant à appuyer un cours ou un domaine d’études particulier ont également vu le jour dans des établissements d’enseignement postsecondaire de l’ensemble du Canada, souvent à la suite de collaborations avec des professeurs, des bibliothécaires et des centres d’enseignement et d’apprentissage. À l’échelle internationale, SPARC a joué un rôle de premier plan dans les RÉL ainsi que dans la promotion et la formation en éducation ouverte, en offrant en 2017-2018 une première mouture de son programme de leadership en éducation ouverte<https://sparcopen.org/our-work/open-education-leadership-program/> pour les bibliothécaires (une deuxième mouture devrait être lancée ce mois-ci).
Afin d'identifier les besoins au niveau national quant à la participation des bibliothèques de recherches aux RÉL, l’ABRC a invité dix chefs de file émergents et établis dans le domaine des RÉL à une réunion de travail d’une journée.
Les participantes ont été reçues par les bibliothèques universitaires de York et par leur doyenne, Joy Kirchner, qui siège également au Comité sur l’avancement de la recherche de l’ABRC. Lise Brin, agente de programme travaillant principalement dans le domaine des communications savantes ouvertes, représentait également l’ABRC. Les participantes invitées étaient :
* Nicole Allen, Director of Open Education, SPARC
* Dianne Cmor, Associate University Librarian, Teaching & Learning, Concordia University
* Inba Kehoe, Copyright Officer and Scholarly Communications Librarian, University of Victoria
* Maude Laplante-Dubé, Bibliothécaire-conseil - Diffusion de la recherche, Université Laval
* Ann Ludbrook, Copyright and Scholarly Engagement Librarian, Ryerson University
* Hope Power, Teaching & Learning Librarian, Simon Fraser University
* Stephanie Quail, Business Librarian, York University
* Lillian Rigling, Program Coordinator, eCampus Ontario
* Ali Versluis, Open Education Librarian, University of Guelph
* Amanda Wakaruk, Copyright Librarian, University of Alberta
Parmi les idées découlant de cette journée de discussion, citons : créer un cours pratique pour les bibliothécaires chefs de file en RÉL axé sur la formation des formateurs, mettre en place un réseau régional distribué pour accroître la capacité de plaidoyer et de création de RÉL dans les bibliothèques, approfondir les relations avec d'autres groupes de parties prenantes en RÉL, et créer une déclaration qui articule les arguments en faveur de l'implication de la bibliothèque dans les RÉL. Ces idées seront présentées au Comité sur l'avancement de la recherche et au Comité sur le renforcement des capacités de l’ABRC au cours des prochaines semaines afin de confirmer les prochaines étapes visant à faire progresser la participation de la bibliothèque au mouvement des RÉL au Canada.

Hi Everyone,
I'm conducting researching on what subject categories (and sub-categories) should be used to catalogue textbooks in, for example, an open textbook collection and was wondering if anyone can direct me to written material on the subject. I'm looking for a few respected references that librarians use when doing this sort of work.
Thanks,

Dear Faculty and Staff,
BCcampus Open Education is reaching out to all faculty members and staff involved in the teaching and support of anatomy and healthcare post-secondary curricula in B.C. in response to a request from the [ http://www.oeconsortium.org/ | Open Education Consortium ] to identify individuals interested in collaborating on a project that would involve the co-creation of an open anatomical atlas of anatomy images.
Background
Anatomy is a basic discipline for all medical and paramedical fields around the world. Anatomical illustrations are essential for the teaching and learning of anatomy and are universally relevant in all countries. Good quality artist-created anatomical drawings are available in anatomical atlases and textbooks but are mostly copyrighted. There are very few good quality anatomical images available under an open license.
If you think this is a good idea and want to participate in the creation and implementation of an open anatomical atlas, please respond to this email by July 15. A response to this email does not commit you to anything, it merely indicates an interest in this project.
On behalf of all interested parties that reply to this email, and as a member of the Open Education Consortium, BCcampus Open Education will submit a form expressing interest.
Regards,
The BCcampus OpenEd team
