Open educational resources (OERs)

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

OER title tracking

E-resources cataloger is notified by email that new titles need cataloging. The OER spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1INR0PeoUtKuTWy3VC7Vq-IRnijWIfR8VZ18VihmXQIY/edit?usp=sharing) is no longer used by the cataloger.

Per Head of Acquisitions, if there is an instance attached to an order that was made for printing a MakeCentral copy, overlay that instance with the e-version. If there is no order record, it means that no physical copy was printed.
Add stat code (Dispersed collection: FBC) to Folio item.
Add 590 (MSU Stanley C. and Selma D. Hollander Faculty Book Collection) to Folio item.
Add staff-only item note (202X needed for FBC reception) IF there is an order record containing the reception year. Otherwise, add only the stat code and 590.
Add 500 note if online version is interactive (usually true) but there are also PDF, etc., versions available for download. Include additional 33X and 006 fields as appropriate for audio-video content.
Add 506 note that item is open access.
Be sure to look at Metadata section at very bottom of book home page. It may contain ISBN, publication date, etc.
Michigan State University. $b Libraries will generally be the publisher. Include a 710.
Notify whomever sent the original email that the titles have been cataloged.
