From Penn St. University: 

Pennsylvania’s first Open Educational Resources (OER) Summit, held today (Aug. 9) at Penn State University Libraries’ y on the University Park campus, aims to help higher education librarians across the commonwealth discuss challenges and solutions for supporting the use of free and openly available course materials, including open textbooks, to help lower the cost of attending college statewide.

Held in conjunction with Affordable Learning Pennsylvania, a grant-funded, community-of-practice project of the Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium Inc. (PALCI), the summit has provided free participation for up to 100 academic librarians from Pennsylvania college and universities to discuss topics around the theme of “Building Community.”
