TOPIC

MOVED TO NOVEMBER 18: Libraries, LIS pros & the Open Movement

So it was open access week last week, and Leigh and I are both so busy that neither of us had the chance to develop a new topic, so we're reviving one we last did in April, 2017. Our inspiration article/source, therefore, is The Open Movement: What Libraries Can Do a 2015 conference presentation by Sheila Corrall. Another source you can check out is my Notes from #ONOERlibrarians day @ Ryerson University during the one-day conference I attended in March 2017. Also check out this free series of upcoming December and January webinars offered by CARL: http://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/upcoming-open-education-training-opportunities/

Please remember that Leigh and I are now in Daylight Savings Time so the chat will be at 8:30 EDT.
