Supplementing OER: Implementing LibGuides to Advance Educational Access and Equity

This poster session will provide an alternative to OER through the use of LibGuides created by library staff and faculty. The purpose is to supplement the OER text with a variety of interactive resources and links to advance access and equity to educational resources. LibGuides have evolved into supplemental open education materials that have been incorporated into the classroom like Gateway to Success, the College’s First Year Experience course. In addition, LibGuides have been utilized to enhance programming such as the 21-Day Equity Challenge, Crucial Conversations, Diversity 365 programming and the GLOW leadership and diversity experience.
