Thank you for celebrating Open Education Week with the Centre for Teaching and Learning and Humber Libraries.

If you still have questions about what makes a resource open or how you can adopt, remix, or create OERs, we have good news for you. College libraries from across Ontario have collaborated to produce an OER Toolkit.

The OER Toolkit provides information to help faculty understand, engage with, and sustain OER in their work and practice.

Do you have ideas for using or adopting OER but are looking for collaborators? Here are some ways Humber Libraries can help you:

• Collect and do initial vetting of supplementary materials
• Use advanced search skills to find exactly what is needed
• Give options for ways that students can access resources
• Advise on how to make resources more accessible
• Advise on issues of copyright and fair dealing
• Advise on the use of Creative Commons licenses
