Body to which the group reports: Governance Board

The Open Educational Resources Committee will support CARLI’s commitment to the “Open Illinois Initiative,” with participation in national organizations and use of consortial OER products and services. The Committee will promote the cooperation and collaboration of open educational resources (OER) adoption, adaptation, creation, and peer review, and identify and develop materials about OER for libraries’ use with their institutions. This commitment includes the planning and delivery of statewide training about OER, and the development of web resources related to Open Educational Resources.

The committee may be assigned projects by the Governance Board or may independently develop projects and initiatives within the scope of its charge or in collaboration with other ad hoc groups. The OER Committee acknowledges historical, structural, and systemic injustice, values the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and will ensure that CARLI’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is embedded in their work. The committee will identify educational and training needs within its scope of responsibility and its collaboration with other committees, and will develop workshops, seminars, webinars, or other education opportunities to meet the needs of the membership. The committee will prepare appropriate documentation and reports and will submit an annual report of its activities and accomplishments to the Board of Directors.
