Open educational resources (OERs)

Summary: This page outlines the workflow for cataloging open educational resources produced at MSU.

OER title tracking

• New OER titles are added to this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1INR0PeoUtKuTWy3VC7Vq-IRnijWIfR8VZ18VihmXQIY/edit?usp=sharing

• E-resources cataloger is notified that new titles have been added

OER cataloging

• Per Lisa S., if there is an instance attached to an order that was used to record printing a MakeCentral copy, it’s okay to overlay that instance with the e-version.

• Add stat code (Dispersed collection: FBC) to Folio item.

• Add item note “202X needed for FBC reception” (marked Staff only) IF reception year is in order record.  Otherwise, add only the stat code.

• Add instance # to VuFind base URL and put into spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1INR0PeoUtKuTWy3VC7Vq-IRnijWIfR8VZ18VihmXQIY/edit?usp=sharing. 

  • Or get the URL from VuFind once the page has appeared.
