Publishing an open textbook is a monumental feat, but for a dynamic, living, open resource, the project doesn’t end with publication. Open textbooks can be modified for specific courses, combined with other texts, and expanded and revised. In this session, faculty and administrators discussed how they discover and track who is using the resource they created, and how it has been adapted.

Guest speakers for this session included Tim Robbins, Assistant Professor of English, Graceland University; Karen Bjork, Head of Digital Initiatives, Portland State University; Anthony Palmiotto, Editorial Director, OpenStax; and Rosie Liljenquist, Fellow in Open Access & Education Initiatives & Asst. Prof., Library Media, Southern Utah University.
