This very broad introductory workshop was held at Howard-Tilton Memorial Library at Tulane University as one in a series of four workshops held during Open Access Week 2018. Over the course of the workshop, we reviewed core terminology, collaboratively developed an understanding of the potential purpose of OERs, explored a selection of OER repositories for content that may align with faculty teaching needs, and briefly reviewed resources available through Howard-Tilton Memorial Library to support faculty wishing to develop their own OERs.
