What is Open Educational Resources (OERs)

This chapter argues that libraries should sustain and increase allocations to cloud computing technologies following the COVID-19 pandemic, rather than falling back into old management styles. The power of the collaborative environment makes it possible to administratively restructure the library to improve efficiency in the virtual domain, where libraries will find themselves operating more and more. Remote work arrangements have altered the relationship between employee and employer, setting new expectations and demanding new ideas about operations. The author discusses how this “new normal” will necessitate changes in how directors govern their staff, especially in an era of reduced budgets.
