In addition to meeting the general criteria of materials selection, and in recognition of the College’s intention to use more Open Educational Resources (OER), OER should meet these specific criteria:
- Be licensed under an open license such as Creative Commons
- Be relevant to disciplines of focus of the Information Literacy Program, their courses, assignments, and instructors.
- Be chosen in consultation with instructors.
Any faculty librarian, as part of their collection development duties, may recommend course-related materials such as OER textbooks to the instructional faculty.
