Librarians from Austin Community College and UT Austin will lead participants through an introduction to open educational resources (OER). Participants will learn what OER are and why teachers and students might want to use them. This session will also discuss recent legislation related to OER.

Learning outcomes – participants will be able to:
- Define Open Educational Resources: the issue, the response & your role
- Define an open license
- Learn how to find OER and the diversity of searching platforms
- Gain an understanding of the legislative landscape surrounding OER

Description
This hour-long presentation was a part of the 2020 Staff Development Day at Austin Public Library. The creators intend this to be reused and have placed additional Creative Commons Licensing statements where we use borrowed graphics. Several of the slides contain links to a Slido audience participation element. While these Slido elements are no longer active, the authors opted to leave the slides in place allowing others to recreate and innovate upon the audience participation element. The Slido elements were created using the free version of an online tool available at https://www.sli.do/ in February 2020.
