#LISprochat lead-in - topic & questions for Mon Apr 24 2017

via Giulia Forsythe

TOPIC

Libraries, LIS pros & the Open Movement


I’m currently taking the Introduction to OERs course that Library Juice Academy (#LJAOER) offers because Open Educational Resources and the Open Movement, in general, are becoming big topics of conversation in my workplace and in my entire province. Given the discussions happening in my course I can tell it’s happening elsewhere too so I thought we could have this week’s chat be about the open movement and libraries. Our inspiration article/source, therefore, is The Open Movement: What Libraries Can Do a 2015 conference presentation by Sheila Corrall. Another source you can check out is my Notes from #ONOERlibrarians day @ Ryerson University during the one-day conference I attended in March.

QUESTIONS


We post the questions here in advance of the chat so you can decide whether or not this topic is of interest to you and/or prepare your answers in advance.


Q1. What do you already know about the open movement? (e.g. Open Access, Creative Commons, Open Data, Open Source & OERs)

Q2. Is your library/are you specifically already involved with any part(s) of the open movement? Which parts? What are you doing?

Q3. What do you see being the role of libraries and library professionals being in the future of the open movement?

Q4. What suggestions/resources do you have for library pros looking to learn more about/get involved with the open movement?


PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING IN ON TWITTER AT 9 PM ET MONDAY, APRIL 24 USING THE #LISPROCHAT HASHTAG.
