Klickety bought back to life with #LiDA103

Hi all, Welcome to my blog - it was easier to get this blog working again from 13 years ago, rather than creating a new blog in WordPress....   My name is Ian Kolk, and I am a librarian with RMIT University Library in Melbourne, Australia.  I work as part of the Teaching and Research team.

 I look forward to meeting you all, and learning more about Open Educational Resources and Copyright in  #LiDA103

The reasons why I am taking part in this course, are that it is a perfect fit for the job I took on at the end of last year.  I am part of  quite a few teams -


  • Reading list creation - where I assist academics with creating and the populating their reading lists for their courses
  • Open Educational Resources team - where I have created a library guide for OER - updating and adding resources for academics to add to their reading lists
  • Canvas uplift team - where I find resources and suggest them to academics who are creating or updating their course resources.
  • Research team - Assisting post grad. students with research work.
So this course seems to fit with most of the work I am doing. So when it was suggested, it seemed a natural fit.
