摘要

The ALCTS Collection Management Section (CMS) Collection Development Librarians of Academic Libraries Interest Group and the ACRL Distance Learning Section co-hosted a session entitled, "Open Education Resources (OER): Where Libraries Are and Where We are Going" at the 2018 ALA Annual Conference. With textbook and learning materials costs on the rise, libraries across the country are working on solutions for students and faculty by utilizing OER materials. This has led libraries to collaborate with faculty and more to create programming, tutorials, and help with publishing and research in the field of OER. The session featured panelists from different fields in OER to talk about the present and future directions of OER research, teaching, and programming in libraries. Among the four panelists, perspectives of a librarian, an instructor, a consortium, and a policy group were presented. The panel included four speakers:1.
