As an educator who has built a career around the research and practice of how the use of information and knowledge impacts continuous improvement in all aspects of education, I read with great interest the recent position statement on controlled digital lending written by copyright scholars and endorsed by a number of libraries and institutions across the country (including my organization, ISKME).

Through open licensing, Open Educational Resources (OER) enable possibilities for new, more collaborative teaching and learning practices—because the materials can be used, adapted and shared across learning communities. Realizing the potential of OER, school librarians have begun to play an ever-increasing role in enabling its use by working to curate OER to meet specific teaching and learning needs in their schools.
ISKME is working with Florida State University School of Information (iSchool) on a two-year research project, Exploring OER Curation and the Role of School
In answering the project’s research questions, ISKME will conduct in-depth case studies with 30 school librarians across five states who are identified leaders in OER collection building to document, test, and iterate on a framework for OER curation and curation workflows that can be leveraged nationally in future contexts. The study will further solicit ongoing feedback on the emerging curation framework from the 30 case study librarians, as well as from 20 additional school librarians and 50 teacher peers, and a wider set of field experts and stakeholders, to iteratively refine and validate the framework. Interviews and site visits with 15-20 district leaders in each state will also be conducted as part of this study to assess the ways that district and school contextual factors support and promote the role of school librarians as digital curators, and to inform the relationship and interdependencies between local curation practices and district-level policies.
What does OER curation look like for participating school librarians?
What workflows and practices help us to understand how school librarians are using OER as part of their digital curation efforts?
What core competencies and values for school librarianship are emerging related to OER curation?

The rising cost of college tuition has received a large amount of coverage over the recent months and years. But another cost has risen at an equally unnerving clip as public university tuition, which has tripled in the past thirty years. Course textbooks can cost students hundreds of dollars at the university bookstore. For years, students were able to mitigate those costs by buying online and used.
