Omgosh, every #OpenEducation person in Australia, read, bookmark, and share this thread! 🤩 There is already such valuable info there from Rajiv and the first few respondents — and it’ll only grow as more people find the thread and contribute their knowledge and experience to the conversation. Let’s help each other to build institutional capacity for #OpenEducationalPractice.
Rajiv says he is “especially interested in tactics that are relatively low-effort or that are one-time projects but that pay significant dividends over time.” I.e. strategies that any institution can employ to get the ball rolling.
So, check it out. Learn some stuff. Add some stuff. Share all of it.

Hello everyone! I’m Rajiv Jhangiani and I have the privilege of serving on the Board of Directors for OE Global (elected in 2023). As the Vice Provost, Teaching and Learning at Brock University in Niagara, Ontario, Canada, I am working to build institutional supports for open educational practices. This is why, for example, our newly approved academic plan pledges support for the creation, adaptation, and adoption of open educational resources. However, for more than a decade now much of my work...

ALIA Board Elections 2024 I'm standing for election to the ALIA Board of Directors. I hadn't initially thought I'd nominate in 2024. I am, however, thankful to the two incredible library leaders who reached out and asked about my ALIA Board intentions for this year. Thank you. There's only so much space for candidates to

Published by James Cook University, it includes the chapter I co-authored with my colleagues, Dr Sal Kleine and @stephbradbury ‘Empowering research supervisors: Developing information literacy in higher degree researchers’.

What do you expect of this #OEGlobal?
Okay, a more professional promotion: I have an article out, co-written by Lexy deGraffenreid, about how we approached making queer collections more accessible at Penn State. The article is a series of case studies covering a range of collections at different points in processing, from accessioning to redescription.
You can download the article here: https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/jcas/vol10/iss1/18/
Archival descriptive practices have traditionally obfuscated the existence of or excluded entirely the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people. The development of reparative archival description practices compels archivists to reassess how best to elevate the voices of queer creators and subjects within their collections. In addition, the development of LGBTQIA+ community-generated resources allow archivists to more easily understand and implement the perspectives of queer communities to make archival resources more accessible to and discoverable by those communities. This article will discuss how a special collections library is improving the accessibility of their holdings relating to LGBTQIA+ histories by: 1) auditing archival description to identify outdated description and archival silences; 2) reviewing and revising language which obscured LGBTQIA+ relationships; and 3) developing description at the point of accession that highlights queer histories, relationships, and individuals in order to make LGBTQIA materials more accessible to their communities.
