Join Emily Boles and Pattie Piotrowski, Dean of the Library, to learn about Open Educational Resource grant opportunity through the Illinois State Library and brainstorm proposal ideas.

OER are teaching, learning, and research materials intentionally created and licensed to be free for the end user to own, share, and in most cases, modify. They enable faculty to customize course materials and reduce student costs.

Learn more about the State Library OER grant.

Does it feel like technology is constantly changing and there is always something new to learn? That's because it is! Finding the time to learn new tools—or learn old tools that we never got around to learning—can be a challenge. That's where our Technology Tips and Tricks Speed Meet can help! Every 15 minutes, we'll introduce/review a different technology that can help you save time, communicate better, collaborate easier, and improve efficiency.
