The Project
Survey and Focus Group
Mock-up
To assess our librarians’ interest in contributing content to Open.Michigan and Deep Blue, the U-M institutional repository, we conducted a survey of liaison librarians and held a follow-up focus group to discuss the results and conduct initial training on Open.Michigan and open educational resources.
Open.Michigan, part of the Office of Enabling Technologies at the University of Michigan Medical School, provides open educational resources for use, reuse, and sharing worldwide. Resources include syllabi, slides, tutorials, videos, and more produced by U-M faculty and staff across many schools and disciplines. Open.Michigan encourages researchers, learners, and instructors to maximize the impact and reach of their scholarly work through open sharing.
Taubman Health Sciences Library is the first library at the University of Michigan to contribute staff-created content to Open.Michigan’s collection of resources. Library content is scheduled to be posted later this year and will be available to librarians to use, reuse, and share in any way that you wish as long as you cite the original author.

Respondents concur that there is a difference between the kinds of material appropriate for Open.Michigan and Deep Blue. Respondents see Open.Michigan as a location for our instructional materials such as handouts, slides, and screencasts, whereas respondents see Deep Blue as a location for our scholarly materials such as articles, posters, and presentations.
