Open Education Week is an annual celebration that happens in March. This year, we want to draw your attention to a catalogue of published open books by U of G authors. The collection features a variety of texts, including:
- AI Playbook for Teaching and Learning Leaders: A Community Guide
- Borderless Benefits: Unlocking Transferable Skills from International Learning
- Networks and Networking in Scottish Studies: Essays in Honour of Elizabeth Ewan
“Publishing an open book with McLaughlin Library provides an opportunity to reach large audiences while developing your book on a timeline that works for you,” said Jordan Pedersen, acting head, Research & Scholarship. “Publishing with us is open to faculty, staff and graduate students, and is more than just textbooks.”
