SUMMARY:Publishing Open Access Materials with Pressbooks
DESCRIPTION:Power Cost Savings and Collaboration with Open Access Learning Materials \nOpen educational resources (OER) are learning materials that people can freely access and use. When educators use OER instead of traditional textbooks\, they can significantly reduce students’ financial burden while enhancing student achievement and success. \nAs institutions intensify their commitment to developing and supporting OER\, Pressbooks can play a pivotal role in this work by making it easy to adapt\, publish\, and distribute open materials. \nTo provide an overview of what Pressbooks makes possible\, we will be holding an informational workshop for VALE members on January 7th at 10am ET. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:McNaughton Info Session & Demo for VALE
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMsdOyurzMrGdAeJzDW4N45X0y-I8ua5Kmk \n  \nMcNaughton is a subscription program designed to help libraries keep up with popular\, high-demand titles without committing to permanent purchases. Libraries can lease current\, high-interest titles that might have fluctuating demand\, like bestsellers or popular genres\, allowing them to refresh their collections more easily as reader interests shift. \nLibraries using McNaughton can exchange books throughout their lease period\, helping to manage shelf space and budget more efficiently. It’s a great way for libraries to respond to patron demand without necessarily increasing their permanent holdings.
