Program Overview

Pacific University Libraries offer several different types of publishing services, including journal and book publishing. We also make scholarship (articles, theses, dissertations, etc.) created by faculty, staff, and students at Pacific available in our institutional repository, CommonKnowledge.

The creation and dissemination of scholarly knowledge is a vital part of the Libraries’ mission, including the scholarship and creative efforts of Pacific’s faculty, staff, and students, and the work of scholars at other academic institutions. These works also have the potential to benefit people outside of the University. Our publishing program provides a way for knowledge to be shared, discovered, and used in new and unanticipated ways.

OER: A Field Guide for Academic Librarians

We intend this book to act as a guide writ large for would-be champions of OER, that anyone—called to action by the example set by our chapter authors—might serve as guides themselves. The following chapters tap into the deep experience of practitioners who represent a meaningful cross section of higher education institutions in North America.
