Anne C. Osterman, director of VIVA, The Virtual Library of Virginia, delivered the keynote address at the inaugural Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium, Inc. (PALCI) OER Summit, held Aug. 9 at Penn State's University Park campus. Sixty-two higher education institutions across the commonwealth were represented at the summit, which was co-hosted by Penn State and Affordable Learning Pennsylvania.

It is about equity and diversity. … This is an opportunity for collaboration across the institution, from faculty to instructional designers to librarians to assessment professionals.”
