Subject: [lpc-l] GVSU professor recognized for library-published OER
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 19:59:26 +0000
From: Matt Ruen <ruenm(a)gvsu.edu>
To: LPC-L <lpc-l(a)lists.purdue.edu>
I'm excited to share the news that Grand Valley State University
mathematics professor Ted Sundstrom is to receive the inaugural Daniel
Solow Author's Award from the Mathematical Association of America, in
recognition of /Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof/
<http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/books/9/>, an open educational resource
published through ourScholarWorks@GVSU
<http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/>repository platform. The Daniel Solow
Author's Award celebrates authors whose materials have had a positive
impact on undergraduate mathematics education.
/Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof/is one of our favorite OER
and library publishing success stories: after Dr. Sundstrom reclaimed
his copyright from the original commercial publisher, the GVSU Libraries
helped him make the textbook openly available online to a growing global
audience. Dr. Sundstrom's textbook has been formally adopted at 47
universities, while the digital editions in ScholarWorks were downloaded
more than 22,000 times in 2016 alone!
On behalf of the GVSU Libraries' scholarly communications team,
congratulations to Dr. Sundstrom!

Hello,
It is that time of semester when we hopefully see more attention brought to the high cost of textbooks. UVIC made the papers - http://www.saanichnews.com/news/410166795.html#.WHZqlZmgDuo.twitter
And here at Douglas, the Douglas College Student Union set up a table set in our concourse area (see attached picture). I took the picture at the end of the day but during the day I noticed they had a lot of traffic around the table.
Did anything happen at your institution that you would like to share?

Hi there everyone,
I saw this on Twitter and thought of sharing - some of you may think it is of interest. I also tweeted using the #BCOEL.
Cheers,

Hi all!
I'd like to run a series of posts about how communities around the world are inspiring gratitude and spreading the message of the commons and sharing, and I'd love to hear from you.
What are the small things you're doing for Creative Commons? Whether it's encouraging your local communities to adopt CC, licensing your work, or giving back to your community in another way, please reach out with some writing (any language you feel comfortable writing in,) a video, a photo, or anything else that tells a story about why CC matters to you. Creativity is much appreciated! Show your talent to get folks excited about the commons community!
The deadline for this piece is Wednesday 1/18. Please reach out if you have any questions!
Jennie

Hello,
I was going to send out a Doodle for our next meeting but as I look at Rosario's doodle for the mediawiki training it looks like everyone is available on Wednesday Jan. 25th. Do you think it is possible to have a meeting that day as well or would that be too much? If so, I can put out a Doodle for dates after Jan. 25th.
Thoughts?

Hi All - Is it possible to get physical copies of some open textbooks? I am doing a listening tour shortly about OT and would like to have some physical examples. If possible in psychology, sociology, economics, political science, chemistry, and biology.

Hi there everyone,
Clint Lalonde, my colleague at BCcampus whom most of you may know, has kindly agreed to lead us through a refresher training session on Mediawiki on January 25, at 1pm.I have just sent you all a meeting invite so that the date is booked on your calendars. Thank you Clint! :-)
In order to participate in the session, you will need a BCcampus account. If you worked on any of the content that already exists in the Mediawiki (https://mediawiki.bccampus.ca/index.php/Category:BCOER), chances are you already have an account. You may not remember your login credentials, but you can recover them from the login page. If you do not have a BCcampus account, then you should email helpdesk(a)bccampus.ca and request one ahead of the training session.
I have explained to Clint that he will have two audiences:
* A group of folks who have worked on the Mediawiki in the past, but have forgotten how to go about it because it has been a while since they added/updated any content
* A group of folks who are totally new to Mediawiki
We are going to keep this session fairly informal and Clint will try to respond to the differing needs of these two groups as much as possible. However, if you worked in Mediawiki before, and you have an idea of what topics may be helpful for Clint to cover in the session, could you send me those in a separate email? I will then compile them all and send to Clint to help him streamline the training.
On a last note, Clint would like to use Blue Jeans for the session. In the meeting invite, I included the joining instructions, and I am including them here as well, just in case you find it easier to have them on an email:
