SUMMARY:OER @ TDL: Support for the Solo Librarian webinar
DESCRIPTION:Open education work is often a solitary venture in the library. When you are the solo OER librarian\, or the sole librarian whose OER work is an additional duty on top of your main role\, it can be especially challenging to maintain momentum for open education initiatives. In this OER @ TDL quarterly meeting\, join our panel for an informal discussion on the challenges of sustaining open education initiatives in a solo role\, and how we can develop strategies for creating resilient OER programs by leveraging the support of our community. Quarterly OER @ TDL meetings are organized by the TDL OER Users Group and are open to anyone interested\, regardless of membership in the Texas Digital Library. The OER @ TDL meetings are not recorded in order to cultivate candid conversations. Presentations and resources shared during the meeting will be shared with registrants afterward. \nPanelists include: \n\nAlexa Hight\, Scholarly Communications Librarian\, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi\nAlexander Rodriguez\, Senior Research Librarian/Open Educational Resource Librarian\, University of Texas at Dallas\nCheryl (Cuillier) Casey\, Open Education Librarian\, University of Arizona\n\nModerated by Sabrina Davis\, Open Educational Resources Librarian\, Texas Tech University Registration is required. Please register here.

SUMMARY:Mid-Summer GIS Spotlight: Data & Games!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an hour of GIS learning and fun! \nFrom 3-3:30pm\, Alex Marden (GIS and Geospatial data Coordinator with the UT Libraries) will lead a webinar entitled\, Fundamentals and Emerging Trends of GIS Data. Finding and accessing data to use in GIS software is a common task for librarians\, but GIS data is highly varied and is often challenging to work with. In this webinar\, we will confront those challenges by covering the fundamentals\, highlighting valuable data sources and tools\, and exploring emerging trends in geospatial data accessibility. \nFrom 3:30-4pm\, we will play a group game of GeoGuessr (https://www.geoguessr.com/). GeoGuessr is a geography game which takes you on a journey around the world and challenges your ability to recognize your surroundings. Whether you played before or not\, this is sure to be a fun time! \nQuestions or Comments: Contact us via TDL GIS List: tdl-gis@utlists.utexas.edu \nRegistration is required for this event.

SUMMARY:TDL GIS Interest Group's "Georeferenceathon"
DESCRIPTION:Georeferenceathon! Join us Friday\, July 25 from 1-3:30pm for a free session that will focus on teaching complete beginners how to georeference scanned maps. Feel free to bring your own maps or use maps from our institutions’ collections that we will provide. No prior GIS or georeferencing experience necessary! Also\, bring whatever sweet treat\, snack\, or drink you use to beat the Texas heat! \nGeoreferencing is the process of converting a static image\, such as a scanned map\, aerial photograph\, or architectural plan\, into a usable geospatial dataset. By assigning real-world coordinates to the image\, it is transformed from a simple image into a data layer that can be used for analysis within a Geographic Information System (GIS). \nThe output of georeferencing is a new\, spatially-aware dataset that can be integrated with other data for scholarly research. This allows researchers to do things like: analyze historical change\, perform spatial analysis\, integrate and synthesize data\, digitize features\, and improve findability. \nGeoreferencing makes cultural and historical materials machine-readable in a spatial context\, unlocking them as valuable sources for data-driven research and scholarship. \nRegistration is required.\nLearn more about the TDL GIS Interest Group: https://texasdigitallibrary.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TDLGISIG/overview

SUMMARY:OER @ TDL: OER Course Marking: Promoting Open & Affordable Resources
DESCRIPTION:Course marking—the practice of designating courses that use open educational resources (OER) or other no- or low-cost resources—helps students identify affordable course options in their class schedules\, enabling them to make informed decisions when they register for classes. In addition to providing valuable information to students\, course markings also help institutions assess the use and impact of OER. However\, it can be challenging to initiate and maintain this process of marking courses\, which often involve a large number of stakeholders across the institution. In this session\, we will hear how three institutions have initiated and improved upon course marking processes for their students. They will share their challenges\, successes\, and future plans to establish sustainable course marking workflows in order to better promote open and affordable resources. \n\nQuarterly OER @ TDL meetings are organized by the TDL OER Users Group and are open to anyone interested\, regardless of membership in the Texas Digital Library.\nThe OER @ TDL meetings are not recorded in order to cultivate candid conversations. Presentations and resources shared during the meeting will be shared with registrants afterward.\n\nContributors: \n\nDeeAnn Ivie\, Open Education Coordinator\, The University of Texas at San Antonio\, (she/her)\nLisa Louis\, Director\, User and Research Services\, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (she/her)\nKyle Gullings\, Professor\, School of Performing Arts\, The University of Texas at Tyler (he/him)\n\nModerator: Kate McNally Carter\, Open Education Librarian\, University of Houston (she/her) \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Navigating Uncertainty Together: A Digital POWRR Reflection Workshop for Digital Preservation Practice
DESCRIPTION:Digital preservation work increasingly takes place under conditions of uncertainty: shifting funding landscapes\, evolving systems\, unclear authority\, and emotional strain. While technical assessment frameworks help institutions evaluate infrastructure and workflows\, they rarely address the human experience of stewardship work—confidence\, safety\, belonging\, and sustainability. \nThis interactive workshop introduces and applies Navigating Uncertainty\, a human-centered reflection and assessment framework developed by the Digital POWRR team through the Digital POWRR Peer Assessment Program. Participants will actively complete the framework for their own professional context and engage in structured peer dialogue using guided reflection prompts. \nRather than producing a formal assessment outcome\, the workshop emphasizes learning through reflection and conversation. Participants are invited to surface insights\, clarify next steps\, and reconnect with a sense of agency and community\, highlighting how shared understanding and connection can be sources of joy even amid uncertainty. \n\nDate: September 25\, 2026\nTime: 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Central Time\nPresenter: Stacey Jones\, Digital Preservation Librarian\, University of Arizona\n\nRegistration is required.
