Faculty OER Adoption Opportunities
Hello OCC Faculty,
We have several exciting opportunities to share with you about
textbook affordability and OER! We have saved students over $750,000 through
our grants so far and we want that number to grow. We have been hard at work
getting funding to continue our textbook affordability efforts and I’m happy to
announce that funding is now available! We have three opportunities to announce:
- Faculty may receive a maximum of $1000 per course to support activities necessary for adopting an OER textbook in place of a traditional textbook. Once funding runs out, this will no longer be available.
- The Library can provide you with a desk copy of your OER textbook, as well as a copy to go on library reserve. Funded by the Friends of the Library
- The Library may be able to buy an ebook copy of your textbook for students to use. Availability is limited to what we can purchase - only some textbooks will be available. Funded by the Friends of the Library
For more information, visit our OER Professional Development and Funding Opportunities page or contact Lori Cassidy, OER Grants Project Coordinator & Instructional Design Librarian.

Mystery Science Fiction Theater in the Library, Sat Apr 7
OCC Library and the Friends of the Library are inviting students and faculty to watch some selected films from our newest digital streaming film collection, Kanopy. Join us in the Library this Saturday for
Mystery Science Fiction Theater
If you are attending Coast Con, please visit the Library, Room 112, 12-3pm, for an afternoon of films!
12:00 Vintage Tomorrows
Steampunk started as a subgenre of science fiction fascinated with steam-powered machinery and alternative histories frequently set in Victorian England. VINTAGE TOMORROWS examines steampunk's transformation from those sci-fi beginnings into a global cultural movement that influences art, fashion, design and music.
1:30 Science Fiction in the 21st Century
Science Fiction has developed from having highly similar plots, audiences, and even authors, into a diverse field with international appreciation and ownership. Tour novels and stories featuring characters of all shapes and colors, written by authors of varying ethnicities, nationalities, and genders. Learn how they were received at the time of publication, and see the impact they had on later writers.
2:00 White Scripts and Black Supermen
"Provides a wonderful point of entry, invariably prompting wonderful conversations inside the classroom and beyond. The film pushes us beyond simply recounting this undocumented history but simultaneously complicating the many issues that define this history." - David J. Leonard, Washington State University
- Learn about Orange Coast College Library's digital film collections
- Learn how to build your own playlists and share with other students
