Abstract

The production, distribution, and consumption of educational material is undergoing a sea change due to open educational resources (OERs). There is no better way to democratize education than with open educational resources (OERs), which are both affordable and versatile. Historically important as repositories of information, college libraries are now in a prime position to spearhead this shift. This study looks at the ways in which university libraries can help spread knowledge through open educational resources (OERs), the pros and cons of these resources, and how to implement necessary policy changes to make the most of them.

Keywords: Open Educational Resources, College Libraries, Knowledge Dissemination, Digital Access, Higher Education and Learning Equity
