This week the Library celebrates International Open Access Week! Open access is the free, online availability of research plus the rights to use the research in an open environment. At Kalamazoo College Library, we advocate for open educational resources (OERs), online classroom and study materials that can be used, adapted, and redistributed by others with few or no restrictions. This reduces textbook costs for students and promotes equity in our educational environment.

Faculty can learn more about OERs and even earn a stipend for reviewing one by attending an OER workshop on November 1 or November 9, 2022.
