Publishing | REIMAGINED @ UTA Libraries

This video is part of the UTA Libraries’ Libraries Reimagined campaign and discusses our approach to open educational resources (OER) publishing in the context of our values and mission.

UTA Libraries believe education should be available to everyone, which means supporting the creation of free, open, and accessible course materials. We provide access to and support for using open source tools to create and disseminate OER. We prioritize eliminating as many barriers to OER use as possible, so we offer training and technical services for transitioning existing open content into an editable format, licensing and attributing content to abide by legal and ethical reuse expectations, providing content in multiple format options (e.g., web, PDF, EPUB, optional hard copies), and indexing OER in open repositories. We are also actively committed to increasing the accessibility and usability of OER by providing accessibility evaluations, trainings, and assistance with content remediation as necessary. The playlist features interviews with stakeholders in the OER creation pipeline, including OER creators, librarians, and printing and distribution partners.

This video was written and edited by Michelle Reed, produced by the Marketing and Communications Department at the UTA Libraries, and features Blaize Lafleur, Yumi Ohira, Katherine Willeford, Julian Rodriguez, and Michelle Reed.
