Hello Everyone!

 

My colleague and our Northern Regional Representative, Carolee Clyne, has been investigating WorldCat in alignment with our findability work at BCcampus.

 

She and I spoke today about WorldCat and are wondering if you might know something about the way in which OER are placed in there? How is the OER captured etc?

 

Here are a list of resources she found about the use of OER in WorldCat:

For thousands of years the səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), W̱SÁNEĆ, and the Songhees Nation of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) Peoples have walked gently on the unceded territories where we now live, work, and play. We are committed to building relationships with the first peoples here, one based in honour and respect, and we thank them for their hospitality.
