With #OpenAccessWeek sneaking up on us, what events have made it onto your radar?

It's World Teacher's Day, which is as good a reason as any to say, "thanks for doing your best!"

The Maamwi Hub by College Libraries Ontario supports universities across the province with resources to help them better incorporate indigenous cultures, knowledges, and worldviews:

The Indigenous Perspectives hub on @sask_dlc's Resource Bank has 13 collections covering Indigenous stories, dance, art, music, treaty education, and more:

On OER Commons, we have a TRC Day collection with resources from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, @usask, @UVicLib, and more:

It's the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation aka #OrangeShirtDay2024 in Canada. Here are a few collections to help you and yours learn about indigenous & First Nations perspectives in North America (a thread)!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ! If you or your teachers are looking for some OER on the topic, you can explore the Women's History Month collection on OER Commons. There are over 300 resources including biographies, lesson plans and more!
