Over the past year and a half, we have gathered information and developed a plan for creating a subject-specific, scalable “open textbook toolkit” that will meet the needs of instructors looking to adopt, adapt, or create OER. In this paper, we identify a set of themes for support of OER in psychology courses, as well as guidance for applying these results in other fields. It also provides a framework for librarians to develop their own research agenda in this area.}, year = {2019}, month = {04/2019}, pages = {587-593}, country = {United States}, url = {http://www.ala.org/acrl/sites/ala.org.acrl/files/content/conferences/confsandpreconfs/2019/TheOpenTextbookToolkit.pdf}, refereed = {yes}, keywords = {higher ducation, OER adoption, open education, open textbook toolkit, psychology, STEM adoption}, }
