Hi, all.
There is a UFV math faculty member very interested in completing an open textbook on calculus he started a couple of years ago. We've had a few conversations in the past, but he has had time constraints, as well as some uncertainties around recombining open licensed content that I haven't quite been able to alleviate yet. He also has a different pedagogical approach in mind, and one that he apparently cannot easily work into the existing BC Campus calculus texts. The details escape me, but it made a lot of sense to me as someone who never responded well to traditional approaches of teaching math.
So quite some time after starting and outlining from scratch, he has realised it will be more efficient to complete by incorporating existing content. And I now get the impression he is looking for some collaboration opportunities with others who have specifically worked with open math content.
Do any of you know of anyone actively using and revising math content?
Many thanks.

Subject: [lib-all] Latest Summon Update - Open Access items
Hello:
The latest Summon update seemed to go off without a hitch yesterday. If you've noticed a problem, please contact us via the Help Form:
http://about.library.ubc.ca/contact-us/ejournal-help/
I have turned on the new Open Access feature. You can now filter for "Open Access" and also see the Open Access padlock [cid:image001.png@01D2C4F4.09E25D60] in results. Here's an example:

Subject: Please support the [ http://rightcopyright.eu/ | rightcopyright.eu ] campaign for Education
Dear Cable,
I hope you noticed on social media already; we at COMMUNIA have started the [ http://www.rightcopyright.eu/ | www.RightCopyright.eu ] campaign. We ask for public support for a better copyright for education. We hope you will help us reaching our goal of 5K signatories by May 15th. This will help us convince policymakers that we need a copyright that supports education, and not a copyright that holds back education.
You can help by:
1. Signing the petition at [ http://www.rightcopyright.eu/ | www.rightcopyright.eu ]
2. Sharing about the campaign on social media, newsletters and other outlets. Please find sample tweets in 10-12 European languages on the website: [ https://rightcopyright.eu/spread-the-word/ | https://rightcopyright.eu/spread-the-word/ ] - example: "You may not know it, but you are breaking the law. Help us change this: [ http://bit.ly/rightcpy | bit.ly/rightcpy ] ”
3. If you have suggestions of who to contact about how to reach an education-oriented / copyright oriented audience, please let me know.
Cheers,
Lisette Kalshoven
