Subject: OpenStax, Rice University recruiting for business series authors/reviewers
Hello everyone,
I’m very excited to announce that we are in the beginning stages of recruiting for a business series!
All OpenStax, Rice University open source texts are expert-written, peer-reviewed, match standard scope and sequence, and meet the same quality standards as traditional publisher texts. Currently, our texts are used in over 10% of introductory courses in the U.S. (per [ http://www.onlinelearningsurvey.com/reports/openingthetextbook2016.pdf | 2016 Babson Survey ] ).
Faculty who author/contribute/peer-review the texts receive compensation (the contact below can provide details).
Can you please forward this to your faculty? Please ask faculty to reach-out to the contact listed for each book vs. emailing me, if they are interested.
Thank you so much!

Hi there everyone,
Just to let you know that the minutes from November 29 have been posted to the wiki: (scroll down to the end of the page)
http://bcoerguides.wikispaces.com/Archived+Notes+%28Jan+2016+to+date%29
Thanks Brenda!
I have also added a link to the recording of the MediaWiki training session with Clint to the BCOEL home page:
http://bcoerguides.wikispaces.com/home
Not sure that is the best place.... Maybe it should go on the website? Nut I just wanted to place it somewhere.
As soon as I get the minutes from the last meeting, I will post them to the wiki as well.
Cheers,

Open textbooks: open to change, free to use
Over 200 B.C. Faculty are learning how to customize textbooks that also save their students money. Search the [ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/ | BC Open Textbook Collection ] for a peer-reviewed book in your discipline. See the Resources and Contact dropdown links on [ x-msg://64/open.bccampus.ca | open.bccampus.ca ] for the help you need.
Hello,
I've heard from Shawnna Parlongo again and she still wants to volunteer and unfortunately I forgot to include her for the training with the mediawiki refresher. We also need to discuss what we are specifically adding to the mediawiki so I thought we should ask her to join the Steering Committee and then she would be part of that discussion. So is it okay to just add people to the Steering Committee if they are committed to do work with our group?
Also, Karen Meijer-Kline, the Scholarly Communications Librarian at Kwantlen would like to join the BCOEL Steering Committee.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Debra

Hi Clint,
I don’t remember and can’t find a link to a recording of the session you did on the mediawike. Could you please send it to me. Also if we need an account created for another librarian, who do we ask?
Thanks,

No problem. I am glad it was useful. It was about the limit of my MediaWiki knowledge these days :) But always happy to have a reason to dig in to tech and refresh my memory.
I'l have the video files ready to go by the end of the week.
Clint

Hi Clint,
Thanks so much for taking the time to do the webinar, in spite of the low attendance. I really appreciate your doing it. All who participated found it very helpful. It served the purpose for those folks such as Martin and Lin who had used it before.
Cheers,

May be a fairly short meeting anyway. I am having an issue with MediaWiki where the editing toolbar is not available. Kind of a crucial piece of functionality missing for a training workshop
:/

Hi Clint and Rosario,
I’m at home with a dead car battery and waiting for BCAA for a jump. I’m chairing our OER working group meeting at 2:30 (hoping I can make that) so can’t stay home to login to the Mediawiki session. Sorry to miss it ☹
