Whether you are interested in hands-on training with Pressbooks (for creating/adapting
open textbooks), Open Journal Systems (for launching an open access journal), embedding
library resources into your Moodle course sites (for the Zed Cred), or listening to our
own Melissa Ashman (along with others from UBC, SFU, the Commonwealth of Learning, and the
Nun wa dee Stewardship Society) talk about the invisible labour of Open, the KPU Library

Cheers,
Rajiv
