The Oakland University Libraries are hosting a Human Library event at OU's Kresge Library. The idea behind this event is to "challenge stigma and stereotypes" by "creating a safe space for dialogue" about personal experiences surrounding prejudice, beliefs, disability, ethnicity, origin, orientation, etc. There will be 12 Human Books in all. For more information, go to humanlibrary.org or contact Anne Zacharias: switzer2@oakland.edu.

The Affordable Course Materials Initiative (ACMI) supports faculty converting courses to utilize low-cost, no-cost, and open educational resources (OER) as course materials. However, we recognize that not all courses and subjects will have readily available OER content thus, we implemented an ebook purchasing program for qualifying courses and corresponding books.

Review the criteria and submit an application from the ACMI website.

If you have any questions, please contact Julia Rodriguez, ACMI Coordinator.
