got to

OPEN

THAT  GOT  US  HERE

Better Tools

Knowledgeable Librarians
Our librarians help our people
navigate all the ins and outs of
open licensing and are ready to
go 'open'.

Access to easier, more open tools such as WP, makes it easier to
produce and share open content.

Coordinated/Relevant Info & Support

Funding Expectations
- Project funding is tied to how
content and artifacts must be
licensed.
- AVED push for CC licenses.

A province-wide push (facilitated by BCcampus) has
allowed for collaboration, sharing and support between
institutions.

Institutional Benefits

Internal Champions
- Helps to have a few people at all
levels who understand 'open' and who
remind others of the benefits.
- Tie projects to JIBC Academic Plan.
