Digital technology makes it easier to dissolve traditional enclosures around university silos. Being effective at supporting course delivery with OER and library materials requires an understanding of the educational technology used at your institution. Understanding this environment is essential for building working relationships and developing opportunities between academic support units like libraries, instructional design and technology, the bookstore, the registrar, and student success center. Relationships between people like open education librarians, scholarly communications librarians, instructional designers, academic technologists, LMS administrators, bookstore textbook managers, student success staff, and other university data managers should drive shared strategies and work to streamline their disparate systems.
