35 SPEC Kit 351: Affordable Course Content and Open Educational Resources
3 full-time staff, 2 administrative sponsors (AULS), other liaisons and staff as appropriate, specifically
including our course reserves staff and Copyright Librarian
4: 1 at 60% FTE and the others as special project assistance only
About 16
About 20
Approximately 20. It varies because it is project-based.
Counting a graduate research assistant, there are six.
Currently, the three positions listed below are explicitly assigned to this work (two are co-chairs of
the OER steering committee, one is the Libraries Copyright Officer). However, I don’t know how many
liaison librarians are doing this work. I’m listing one who has been very active in advocating for OER to
her department, but I’m sure there are others who support OER adoption in the normal course of their
work with faculty. The Steering Committee co-chairs are trying to educate liaisons about ways to talk
with faculty about OER, so this work will increasingly become part of what they do.
Difficult to estimate, since so many are involved either directly as a point person on a given award or
tangentially in support of a service used by awardees (e.g., reserves).
In fall 2015 we assigned one librarian to coordinate activities related to OER. Other librarians provide
support within the Libraries.
It is primarily administered by one staff member, but all the others listed are needed to participate at
different times, perhaps for promotion, support, program development, etc.
Mostly just one liaison others help, perhaps 2 or 3.
Over 25
There are no dedicated numbers of staff involved. This is integrated within work of liaisons and
scholarly communications officer within the libraries. Four library staff have served fairly regularly
on the working group/advisory team. Collections &Technical Services pays for and manages some
subscriptions that subsidize aspects of ACC/OER, e.g., memberships that provide author subsidies
such as Biomed Central, etc. We also serve as electronic resources/tech support when something goes
wrong. This staff also seeks out and adds evaluated OER to the catalog for users to find, sometimes
directly promoting them if we have a personal contact among the faculty or the library liaisons.
These are all anticipated participants. Exact numbers TBD.
