The Importance of Partnering with the MCC Libraries

The MCC Libraries have brought you this guide, continue to collect data on NoLo and OER at MCC, and connect faculty and students to OER and freely available academic resources. We are your partners in OER. If you are condering OER, working on OER, or are updating your existing OER: connect with an MCC Librarian!! We are here as your partner in this work. Keeping your MCC Librarians in the loop will get you connected with even more resources. We are are information and resource professionals, after all! Further, it's important that we be informed as to what (library) resources you are using. Why? Some licenses on certain platforms do expire or move to another platform. We want to keep an eye out for you so we can prepare for when that happens and keep your resources complete and without broken links, etc.

With all that said, let's get into it!
