Featuring initiatives from the University of New Mexico (UNM), Santa Fe Community College (SFCC), and Central New Mexico Community College (CNM), the presentation highlights OER grant programs, faculty mentorship, professional development opportunities, and collaborative communities of practice. It examines how librarians, OER editors, and faculty mentors assist educators in adopting, adapting, and creating accessible, affordable, and customizable course materials.

The presentation also discusses peer mentoring models, grant application processes, quality assurance practices, copyright considerations, and tools for discovering open educational materials. Through institutional examples and practical recommendations, it emphasizes the importance of collaboration, ongoing faculty support, and sustainable mentoring programs in expanding OER adoption, reducing educational costs, and improving access to learning resources.
