Open Educational Resources LibGuide

Reference/Instruction Librarian Lorraine Patrick has created a Libguide which showcases open collections, as well as some of the teaching and student benefits when using Open Educational Resources.  The Libguide can be found by going to https://libguides.bellevue.edu/OER  Along the top of the Libguide, there are 5 purple tabs.  The Home tab, the Introduction tab, the Key Points tab, the Open Collections tab and the Videos tab. Users can click on any of the purple tabs to navigate through the Libguide.  Once you navigate through the Libguide, you will see that there are several open collections such as OpenStax, the Open Textbook Library and the OER Commons, to name a few. We hope that you enjoy using the OER Libguide. If you have any comments or suggestions regarding the Libguide, please e-mail Lorraine Patrick at patrick@bellevue.edu
