We are learning with you!

# data[].attributes.body
It will probably take you twice the amount of time to produce this textbook than you think it will. If you think one year, plan on two!

# data[].attributes.body
Don't hesitate to ask questions.

# data[].attributes.body
Be patient as we figure things out and realize it'll take time.

# data[].attributes.body
There may be multiple ways to make your great work available to students and colleagues. We'd like to partner with you.

# data[].attributes.body
That working with librarians is a safe place for faculty to learn and create!

# data[].attributes.body
We are doing this together because we care about the students and their learning!

# data[].attributes.body
We're all learning together. It's ok if we don't have all the answers. We'll get there together.

# data[].attributes.body
There are some services we can provide and some we can't. Let me help you understand the options. and if you need those other services, maybe I can refer you!

# data[].attributes.body
This is a learning process for everyone. There may be things we need to discover together...and that's ok.

# data[].attributes.body
The work may go against the culture of your department.

# data[].attributes.body
What are your goals and outcomes? What makes this different from the resources you have been using in the past?

# data[].attributes.body
Time passes quickly. It will help us both if we set milestone timelines to keep us both accountable.

# data[].attributes.body
We will do it together and figure it out together.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm still learning!

# data[].attributes.body
That I believe your OER work is really important scholarship, and that you have my collaboration and support to the best of my capacity!

# data[].attributes.body
Make use of the college's accessibility resources department and the very knowledgeable people who work there for resources!

# data[].attributes.body
That we can't be perfect! We will try our best together.

# data[].attributes.body
Accessibility should be considered up front rather than going after the fact to try to make it more accessible.

# data[].attributes.body
That things need to be made accessible as you go.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating accessible content is so important. Knowing best practices in advance is super helpful as you start to map out and create your open text.

# data[].attributes.body
It's best to check accessibility with checkers during creation rather than going back later

# data[].attributes.body
Test everything with multiple users for feedback on accessibility.

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing will ever be 100% Accessible.

# data[].attributes.body
I 'd like to ask them to think about reaching as many different kinds of students as possible in undertaking their work.

# data[].attributes.body
There are a number of considerations that will make your textbook even more accessible, relevant, and inclusive for your students.

# data[].attributes.body
This topic has become so difficult to navigate in my state (FL), but I want faculty to know that they can still come talk to me about inclusion strategies, as we can't be deterred by opponents to DEI.

# data[].attributes.body
Just ask! I can work with you to ensure that your examples are representative of and look like the students in your classes.

# data[].attributes.body
Checking in with each other can be SO beneficial!

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for clarifying that this is an agreement and not necessarily a formal legal document. My previous experience with MOUs has been a bit intimidating.

# data[].attributes.body
The MOU is intended to increase clarity/understanding so that all involved will be clear on what their responsibilities are.

# data[].attributes.body
That we will be proud of our work at the end!

# data[].attributes.body
That creating textbooks should be undertaken thoughtfully and with respect for everyone's time and expertise.

# data[].attributes.body
That it may take longer than they think it will.

# data[].attributes.body
Faculty should have reasonable expectations of the amount of time and energy this takes.

# data[].attributes.body
Getting started and taking a risk is worth it even if things don't turn out exactly as imagined!

# data[].attributes.body
Checking in with each other will be important.

# data[].attributes.body
That I have expertise in this but am also learning alongside them -- we can be partners. And yes, that this takes lots of time and energy but that it will likely be very worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
Let's work together to develop a way of working together and level of communication that works for us both.

# data[].attributes.body
That them being responsive to communication is important, and not to ignore communication attempts even if all they have to say is "i'm still working, nothing to report"

# data[].attributes.body
We are going to collaborate together to develop & accomplish shared goals.

# data[].attributes.body
Members of the team are your collaborators. Create intentional working relationships and communicate. Respect the scope of what they can help with.
