Abstract
This article explores the impact of librarian-led OER initiatives on faculty development and textbook affordability at Nevada State University. It reveals how such programs reshape instructor perceptions of librarians' roles, showcasing their value in course development through improved pedagogy and student access to course materials. These efforts have positioned the Library as a pivotal entity in institutional discussions around course material affordability.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Academic Librarianship, an international and refereed journal, publishes articles that focus on problems and issues germane to college and university libraries. JAL provides a forum for authors to present research findings and, where applicable, their practical applications and significance; analyze policies, practices, issues, and trends; speculate about the future of academic librarianship; present analytical bibliographic essays and philosophical treatises. JAL also brings to the attention of its readers information about hundreds of new and recently published books in library and information science, management, scholarly communication, and higher education. JAL, in addition, covers management and discipline-based software and information policy developments.
