Questions
Is OA week the right time of year for faculty to be able to attend?
Is there a way to make content interesting to faculty and researchers? Hasn’t really worked in the past-example finding images workshop.
Should OA week be focused on continuing education for librarians because that’s who is coming to events?
Could OA week be the launch of OA publishing fund for the year?
Ideas:
Undergraduate journal panel
How to identify OA/OER materials for using in classes.
Spring workshops
Open education week in March. OER subgroup hasn’t decided on workshops yet. HSL has one workshop planned.
Fair use week in February.
Love your data week in February.
Are workshops the best way for scholarly communication group to meet goals?
Thirty minute workshops are the best thing to do.
Title is important because that is what is being advertised.
Possibly do something that is gamified.
Are planning staff development workshop in spring.
We will continue discussion of workshops at the next meeting.
