This document summarizes a presentation given by Heather Braum on open education resources (OER) and how school librarians can collaborate with teachers. The presentation defined OER as freely available educational materials that can be reused, revised and redistributed. It provided examples of OER including textbooks, videos, lessons and entire courses. Sources of OER like Wikimedia Commons, Khan Academy and individual universities were also shared. The presentation suggested ways school librarians could help teachers find and integrate OER into their curriculum to reduce costs and update materials more quickly.
