Re: [Bcoelsteering] How to Deal with Author, Adapter, Contributor in Open Texts

Thanks for your insights, Josie, and for asking this question, Erin. I just assisted an English instructor with adapting an open textbook (minimal edits and chapter deletions) and had the same question. I really like the branded UBC cover page! -Lindsay Lindsay Tripp Copyright Librarian Langara Library 604.323.5290 100 West 49th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Y 2Z6 Unceded Musqueam Territory [Langara Logo]<https://langara.ca/> ________________________________ Please consider the environment before printing.

I haven’t seen clear standards, but BCcampus usually lists adapting authors as co-authors or contributors. However, the current BCcampus cover designs don’t include author names at all. In the case like Erin described where edits were quite minimal, it might be more appropriate to add something like the following to on the cover page, “Adapted by [instructor’s name].” The existing cover page looks good!

Is there any standard for how to attribute author vs. adapter when creating an open textbook cover. For example, a faculty member has a adapted an open text but hasn't written and\y significant changes, etc. to warrant the text being a full new edition. His work however needs to be recognized. How do you do this on the front cover of a text? Here is the example for context: https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/socialpsychben/ Any ideas are welcome.
