<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#333333">As the use of OER increases across institutions, libraries have the potential to play a valuable role and strategically support teaching and learning in a new way. In fact, the skills
and expertise that librarians possess make libraries a natural ally in OER initiatives.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#333333">A recent Ithaka S+R US Faculty Survey revealed that around 60% of faculty are very interested in using Open Educational Resources (OER) in their courses, and 50% strongly agree with
adopting new instructional approaches with OER. What is the role of the library in OER adoption? How can the library promote OER for Universal Design, diversity of materials, student success, and other key initiatives? What challenges does the library uniquely
face regarding OER?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
