Abstract

Abstract:The increasingly high cost of textbooks coupled with the pedagogical opportunities presented by Creative Commons licenses has provided fertile ground for the development of open educational resources (OER) initiatives as an impactful practice for improving student success. Librarians are leading advocates for OER, yet little has been published on how librarians learn about OER or how faculty use OER in library and information science (LIS) programs. For this study, the author surveyed LIS faculty about their awareness and usage of OER as well as the role they imagine for future librarians in open education. LIS faculty, current and future librarians, and those interested in open education can glean insights on the usage of OER from the almost fifty respondents. Approximately half of the respondents regularly use some OER, and the other half have heard of it. Of those who have heard of OER, half of the respondents mention them in their teaching. Respondents believe that future librarians’ roles in OER range from traditional librarian roles of finding and providing metadata and curating resources to developing and leading OER initiatives. Given that several organizations offer training and certifications for librarians in OER, LIS programs can help meet this need in a variety of ways.

开放式教育在美国教育中的应用

摘要：越来越高的教科书成本，加上知识共享许可证提供的教学机会，为开发开放教育资源（OER）举措提供了肥沃的土壤，作为提高学生成功率的有效实践。图书馆员是OER的主要倡导者，但关于图书馆员如何了解OER或教师如何在图书馆和信息科学（LIS）项目中使用OER的报道很少。在这项研究中，作者调查了LIS教员对OER的认识和使用，以及他们对未来图书馆员在开放教育中的角色的设想。LIS的教员、当前和未来的图书馆员以及那些对开放教育感兴趣的人可以从近50名受访者那里收集关于OER使用的见解。大约一半的受访者经常使用一些OER，另一半的人听说过。在听说过OER的人中，一半的受访者在教学中提到了它们。受访者认为，未来图书馆员在OER中的角色从寻找和提供元数据、管理资源的传统图书馆员角色到制定和领导OER计划。鉴于一些组织为图书馆员提供OER方面的培训和认证，LIS项目可以通过多种方式帮助满足这一需求。
