The Minitex Network for Open & Affordable Practices (MNOP) is a new Minitex program supporting librarians and other academic support staff in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota working to increase adoption of open educational resources and library affordable content strategies. Its website has soft launched in advance of the program's official kickoff in November.
Greetings! I’m the new Open Education and Affordable Content (OEAC) Librarian on the Cooperative Purchasing and Electronic Resources Services (CPERS) team. As the OEAC Librarian, I’m excited to draw on my experiences working together with people and technology to see how Minitex can best serve the purpose of helping libraries increase adoption of open education strategies across the state.

You are already familiar with OER and Creative Commons and you enjoy searching for and reusing open works. In this workshop, offered by our friends in the SELFIN consortia, we’ll explain how truly “open” works need more than just a Creative Commons license!
