Thanks Mark!

That’s a much better summary of my presentation that I could have done myself Glad you found it interesting!

One thing I would say is that these are not really ‘rules’ (and I hope I said this during the presentation ). Rather, they are guidelines. For example, there are lots of good websites these days with content below the fold, the key point there is to have the really important stuff at the top of the page; and people will keep clicking (beyond the 3 clicks) if they can ‘scent’ where they are heading.

And you’re right – these guidelines apply to all websites. Good luck with your new website – I’ll be keeping my eye on it!

Cheers!

Comment on OER loves academic libraries by StevenB

Hi Sarah. I too found the UM report useful. If you are interested in how libraries can take a leadership role in encouraging faculty to use OER as their learning materials, I think you will enjoy reading an essay that I published back in June in Inside Higher Ed on “Taming the Textbook Market” at http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2010/06/11/bell

[...] Sarah Bartlett has a new post discussing the relationship between open educational resources and academic libraries. From the post: Taking on responsibility for OER publishing at the University of Michigan would mean that the existent Open.Michigan project would be either partly or wholly integrated into the library.
