Office Hours: Publishing Progams on Campus
Channel: Rebus Community
Date: 2019-04-02

The special guests at this month's session of the Rebus Community and Open Textbook Network Office Hours were Amy Hofer (Coordinator, Statewide Open Education Library Services, Open Oregon); Kristi Jensen (Program Development Lead, eLearning Support Initiative, University of Minnesota Libraries); Adrian Stagg (Manager, Open Educational Practice, Office for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching, University of Southern Queensland); and Tahnee Pearse (Associate Director (Content), Library Services, University of Southern Queensland).

As OER grows in popularity, many colleges and universities are establishing on-campus publishing programs. At this Office Hours session, we heard from guest speakers who are at various stages of this process. They are building open publishing programs at their colleges, universities, or state-wide bodies, and shared their experiences so that others know what to expect when they do the same. Our guests spoke about the teams they’ve assembled and the resources they’ve relied on (or created). They also talked about what they might have done differently, given what they learned along the way.
