[Bcoel] Information request - Faculty stipend for OER implementation

Hello all, I just recently got involved with BCOEL, so I hope that's all right that I'm requesting input already! I'm in the midst of creating an initial proposal to implement some form of OER at my institution as we currently do not use any open resources. I'm looking for some figures for the typical honorarium/stipend given to faculty who choose to adopt or adapt an open textbook to add to my report. If anyone is comfortable sharing the amount that is standard at your own institution or if you've come across good sources (preferably Canadian) that include dollar amounts that you can direct me to, I would be very grateful! We're in a very 'baby steps' stage, but I'm hoping to make a strong case to get started with open textbooks in the next term or two. Thanks so much, Reba Ouimet Reba Ouimet Liaison Librarian University Canada West Suite 100 - 626 West Pender Street, Vancouver, V6B 1V9, Canada Switchboard : +17786553702 Email : Reba.Ouimet(a)ucanwest.ca Web : www.ucanwest.ca<https://ucanwest.ca> [https://ucanwest.ca/media/533286/email-signature-banner-jun2017-2.jpg]<h… <http://www.lsbf.org.uk/> Notice: All electronic mail messages and any attached files sent by University Canada West (UCW) are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
