Open Educational Resources (OER)

The TRAILS consortium of Montana Academic Libraries is committed to promoting and supporting faculty in the use of open educational resources. 

Find information about upcoming training sessions and news from the state, visit the TRAILS website.

TRAILS has joined the Open Education Network (OEN), an alliance of hundreds of colleges, universities, and consortia partners working together to advance the use of open textbooks in higher education. 

TRAILS membership means that all member libraries will have access to OEN resources and trainings, including:

• Access to a community of like-minded institutions and professionals
• Ongoing support for faculty workshops
• Data collection tools
• Participation in the future efforts of OEN

TRAILS has also joined the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) from OE Global.
