School Librarians as OER Curators

School librarians play a vital role in curating instructional resources to match the needs of their targeted school audiences. They have long been the experts in how to find resources and make them discoverable by others, and in understanding copyright and its pitfalls. These skills are especially useful when OER are part of a school system’s curriculum development process—as openly licensed materials necessitate selection based on careful evaluation of use permissions, and where the outputs of curation are often adapted and shared for discovery by future users.
