Hi, Katie,

An OER example from UC Merced:

The real brains behind this operation are Sara Davidson Squib and Elizabeth Salmon. I merely bask in the glory.

CAUTION: EXTERNAL EMAIL

For instance, as a recent conversation just put me in mind of, it would be fun to spotlight instructors or departments who've been successful teaching with affordable course materials and OERs. I know we had a post about Bending the Curve, but that was a pretty unique situation, it'd be neat to get some more examples, maybe with large intro courses.

Hello all,

It's been a little over a year since Martha sent out this message about some templates and guidelines our OSC working group put together. Our hope was that they'd make it an easy lift for someone to put together a post for the OSC site highlighting something cool happening locally in the world of OA. 

This is your annual reminder that these tools exist, and the blog would still be happy to showcase cool projects that aren't yet on the OSC's radar.

Best,

Katie

Hello SPCKG,

During our announcement at today's SPCKG meeting, we'll share more details about this, and so in advance, here's our call for ideas:

Have you caught wind of an exciting open access publishing project on your campus? If so, the “Innovative Publishing Models” working group of the Office of Scholarly Communication (OSC) wants to hear from you! We are collecting examples of recent and creative open-access publishing projects at UC to highlight on the “OA Innovations @ UC” page of the OSC website.  

We welcome any nominations of work by UC scholars. Projects can be highlighted as stories or interviews for the OSC blog. Or, if you prefer simply to draw our attention to the work, that’s fine too. Three previous stories focused on:

• Support for publishing software and data research outputs via an integration of Dryad and Zenodo;
• The development of a clinical resource, Ultrasound in Resource-Limited Settings: A Case-Based, Open Access Text, that uses text and animated GIFs to provide diagnostic guidance for areas of the world with bandwidth limitations;
• The launch of a new mathematics journal, Combinatorial Theory, with an experimental, distributed open-access funding model.

To learn more about this initiative and what might qualify as an “innovative publishing” project, view our guidelines and goals for this effort.

Please email us at [log in to unmask] with the details of any proposed project and indicate whether you would like to write about it for the OSC site, and share this request with others in your library who may be interested. Note: while we are eager to learn more about the innovative work happening on your campus, we may not be able to feature all proposals.

With thanks,
