SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) works to enable the open sharing of research outputs and educational materials in order to democratize access to knowledge, accelerate discovery, and increase the return on our investment in research and education.

For librarians, new opportunities for translations of traditional services: selection, collection development, acquisition, evaluation, workflow, discovery, accessibility, dissemination, knowledge building, instructional partnerships, engaged pedagogy, respect for the creator-- not only the (text)book level, but at the object, playlist, lesson, unit, course delivery or LMS levels.

A status report and toolkit for �K12 curation
Open Educational Resources (OER) enable possibilities for new, more collaborative instructional practices and for more personalized learning experiences—because through open licensing, materials can be used, adapted, localized, and shared across learning communities.
Realizing the potential of OER, school librarians have begun to play an ever-increasing role in enabling its use by curating OER to meet specific teaching and learning needs in their schools and districts. But what do these curation practices look like, and how might they be further enabled within and across schools?
To answer this question, ISKME, in partnership with Florida State University School of Information, conducted a national study to explore what OER curation looks like for school librarians who are leading the way in OER curation practice. Based on the findings from this research, the document at hand presents a framework to guide future school librarians in their OER curation practice. The document includes resources and tools to supplement the framework, based on ISKME’s wider OER curriculum work conducted in collaboration with educators since 2013. The document offers:
Note that a full report on the findings from ISKME’s OER curation study will be disseminated in the summer of 2019. Additionally, an interactive, web-based version of this document will be created after feedback has been incorporated from study participants and the project’s advisors.
