2025 Library Publishing Forum Call For Proposals

by Canada Open Education Resources

Good afternoon!The Library Publishing Forum <https://librarypublishing.org/forum/> is an annual conference bringing together representatives from libraries engaged in or considering publishing initiatives to define and address major questions and challenges; to identify and document collaborative opportunities; and to strengthen and promote this community of practice. The Forum is sponsored by the Library Publishing Coalition, but you do not need to be a member of the LPC to attend. The Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) is now accepting proposals <https://goo.gl/forms/jpvJ32KbuuecvBqp1> for the 2025 Virtual Library Publishing Forum being held from May 5-8, 2025. Proposals may address any topic of interest to the library publishing community. The proposal deadline is January 6, 2025. Proposal submissions are welcome from LPC members and nonmembers, including library employees, university press employees, scholars, students, and other scholarly communication and publishing professionals. Again, we welcome proposals from first-time presenters and representatives of small and emerging publishing programs. We are committed to expanding the diversity of perspectives we hear from at the Library Publishing Forum. Working towards some of the “Continuing Initiatives” from the LPC Roadmap for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jgE7c4wS4D72DgtakhZ-IK8whO3hN_jQ/view?usp=…>, we ask all proposals to explicitly address how they are inclusive of multiple perspectives, address DEIA, or incorporate anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches.

Open textbook for Developmental Psychology - conception to puberty

by Canada Open Education Resources

Hello, Apologies for cross posting. I have a faculty member who is looking for a new textbook for her Child Development 3rd year Psychology class. She has reviewed a number of open textbooks, and so far, she has found one textbook that is very promising: Understanding the Whole Child: Growth and Development Conception Through Adolescence<https://pressbooks.pub/scchildgrowthanddevelopment/> However, she would still be interested if anyone has a favourite or one that they would really recommend for this course. Here is a brief course description: This course provides an introduction to the process of development from conception to puberty. The major focuses are on developmental theory, descriptive changes in physical growth, cognition, language, social and emotional behaviour of children and applications of the research and theory. Learning Goals: At the conclusion of the course the student will be able to: 1. Describe the research methods associated with child development. 2. Explain the significance of heredity and environment on the developing child. 3. Describe the factors associated with physical development, prenatally through to puberty. 4. Describe the processes of cognitive development throughout childhood. 5. Describe the socio-emotional changes experienced by the infant through to puberty. 6. Explain how child developmental research can be applied to real life situations. 7. Explain contemporary issues in child development such as child abuse, attention-deficit disorder, special needs, and the role of television and video games. Thanks so much for any suggestion of an open textbook you think would be particularly suitable.

Re: NEW OER: Creating the Modern: Intersections of Art & Society in the Nineteenth Century

by Canada Open Education Resources

Dear Colleagues in the OER Community, Are you looking for examples of what an image-intensive open textbook for the fine arts might look like in Pressbooks? After exploration and customization, we’re especially excited to share with you the following new open textbook published at Concordia University Library: Title: Creating the Modern: Intersections of Art & Society in the Nineteenth Century Authored by Loren Lerner and Karine Antaki For the course: ARTH 366 Studies in 19th Century Art and Architecture Creating the Modern by Loren Lerner and Karine Antaki is a visually rich open textbook for visual studies, art history, and nineteenth-century studies. “Topics such as class and gender, academism and the avant-garde, the reception and consumption of progressive art, the culture of spectatorship, psycho-social illness, Eurocentrism, and religious and racial prejudice encourage a multi-faceted understanding of how the narrative of nineteenth-century art is a narrative intrinsically attached to the problematics, and promise, of emerging modernity.” Read and view the resource<https://opentextbooks.concordia.ca/creating-the-modern/> Part of Concordia University Library’s OER Program<https://www.concordia.ca/library/oer.html> WorldCat Record <https://concordiauniversity.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1436664054> Happy Open Access Week, Rachel Harris Dr. Rachel Harris<https://www.concordia.ca/faculty/rachel-harris.html> Scholarly Publishing Librarian English Book Review Editor, Papers/Cahiers<https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/bsc/about/editorialTeam> ORCID: 0000-0002-7356-0127<https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7356-0127> Contact: rachel.harris(a)concordia.ca Concordia University Library, Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal (unceded Indigenous land) [cid:52de2d22-675a-4efd-98cc-b7a00de3be3c]<https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/2f53ef835f43484d99ed02e99b1e5a86…> Book time to meet with me<https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/2f53ef835f43484d99ed02e99b1e5a86…>
