14 Survey Results: Survey Questions and Responses
At this time, we are not using a review committee, but our initiative specifies that we will form one.
This is primarily because we have not received more proposals that we can fund. When we start to
receive more proposals, and the application process becomes a bit more competitive, we will create a
steering committee to review proposals. Our plans call for the library to lead a governing body with
representation from high-level administration, library, faculty governance body or organization,
student organization, and faculty development center.
Campus Champion is currently our Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education. Library Coordinator
is currently me. Each of the member universities of the University System of Georgia has appointed a
Campus Champion and a Library Coordinator.
Coordinator at one member library with designated contacts at participating member libraries.
Currently, the university librarian, associate university librarian for collection management and
scholarly communication, and the director of communications. That may change as we move further
ahead with implementation. Also, short-term committees comprised of faculty members are enlisted to
review applications in each cycle, and the input they provide on applications can have implications for
how we develop a governing structure.
Library administrative oversight with University Faculty Senate Library Committee
reviewing applications.
Library unit with occasional consultation from partners.
Our institution has a teaching, learning, and technology roundtable (TLRT) made up of faculty,
administrators, librarians, and other academic support offices. While the library funds the initiative
and manages it, the TLTR is connected with the project and faculty who sit on the TLTR typically
review proposals for project funding. More recently our institution has formed a Textbook
Affordability Task Force that was charged by the provost to submit recommendations for the institution
to adopt. There is overlap between the TLTR and the task force so I will include both groups in the
checklist below.
Outreach College borrowed a librarian to coordinate OER for 18 months have standing committee of
librarians and instructional design personnel for system communication about OER.
Relatively informal different ad hoc groups that are working on various different initiatives to support/
implement. In the case of the press, the support of an OA platform and creation of books/OER’s is part
of their regular work.
Right now, we have examples on campus of distinct initiatives aided by the bookstore.
TBD. Our Undergraduate Experience Librarian will convene a team. It will probably start as a task
force, but could extend to a standing committee if the program continues beyond one year.
The Campus Alberta OER Steering Committee guides this initiative, and includes faculty, students,
senior academic officers—including librarians—provincial government representatives, and other
experts who champion open educational resources in the province.
The Center for Teaching &Learning of the School of Public Health is operationally in charge of the
Open Courseware system. There isn’t really a governing body, it’s just a part of the work done.
The library is leading this initiative in consultation with the provost’s office, the Teaching and Learning
Transformation Center, the Senate Library Committee, the Student Government Association, and the
Libraries’ Student Advisory Group. This is not a formal group or task force.
The Scholarly Communications and Copyright Office of the Libraries
There is no structure.
