Heather Martin

Copyright Officer and Manager, e-Learning and Reserves
University of Guelph

Heather manages the E-Learning and Reserves team at the University of Guelph Library and is also the University’s Copyright Officer. In this role, she provides support to faculty, students, and staff in their use of copyright-protected works. When not fielding copyright questions, she advocates for the adoption of open educational resources and other alternatives to commercial textbooks as co-chair of the University’s Open and Affordable Course Content Task Force.

Presenting at the following sessions

No Access, No Value: Advocating for More Equitable Access to Course Resources When Commercial Publishers Fail Us

Document

This session will describe how the closure of our library and resulting lack of access to print course reserves became a catalyst for advocacy and outreach to persuade faculty to replace commercial textbooks with open educational resources (OER) and library-licensed content. Through our efforts to mobilize OER in the past and drawing on research from our 2016 Textbook Broke survey, we’ll discuss how we facilitated cross-team collaboration to mobilize “access as a value,” ultimately developing an approach to faculty outreach, services, and workflows that allowed us to put our values into action.
