Hi BCOEL,
The first draft of the Open Textbooks for Courses Finder is ready for testing and feedback! Thank you to Lauri and Kaitlyn from BC Campus for all the work they've put in so far.
Please use the link below to test the product. Send feedback to Lauri (lauri.aesoph(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:lauri.aesoph@bccampus.ca>) and copy the BCOEL listserv.

As this is the testing and review phase, do not share the project publicly. If there is someone outside BCOEL who you think would be a beneficial reviewer, please email Lauri to request access.
Lauri will be attending our January 17th BCOEL meeting to do a formal demonstration. Please review the product and send any feedback/comments ahead of this meeting. We'd like to get the ball rolling on the review phase ahead of the demonstration, so the project is ready to roll out to the wider community as early as possible.
Donna and I are meeting with Lauri in the upcoming weeks to discuss the formal roll-out plan and will update the group as we have more information.
For now, happy exploring!
Cheers,
Darcye

Hi everyone,
Darcye and I are helping plan events for Fair Dealing Week (exact date not announced yet).
Not long ago, I think we talked about wanting something around open textbooks and fair dealing. Is this correct, and if so, are there any suggestions around this or people you think could talk on this topic?
Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Debra & Darcye

Bravo, Brenda!
From the newly released The Originals: Classic Readings in Western Philosophy<https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/classicreadings/>
”Brenda Smith from the TRU library gave so much time to track down many of the works you find here. Moreover, if something was not available, she would find out why (e.g., the philosopher hadn’t been dead long enough, or wasn’t dead yet!). Her fine tuning of my original list saved me many hours of frustration. Indeed, it is because she was there at the very beginning of when this idea started forming in my head which such drive and positive thoughts that I decided to commit to it.”
