"Open knowledge only matters if we can trust it." Check out this great article by Chris Bourg, director of MIT Libraries and Amy Brand, director of the The MIT Press, explore what it means to "hack" the ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/eZWaADs7
What does it really mean to “hack” the open ecosystem—and why does it matter now more than ever? Chris Bourg , director of MIT Libraries and founding director of CREOS, and Amy Brand, director and publisher of The MIT Press, share their thoughts on this in the latest piece from our Come Invent With Us: Perspectives on OEGlobal26 series. Their perspective feels especially timely and important: "Hacking the open ecosystem today requires not only making knowledge available to all, but also building the systems that ensure the credibility and sustainability of that knowledge." Right now, with generative AI changing the way we create, share, and use knowledge, and as commercial interests continue to shape academic content, Bourg and Brand remind us that libraries and university presses both have vital, complementary roles. Open knowledge only matters if we can trust it. #OEGlobal26 #OpenEducation #OpenAccess #OpenScholarship #AcademicLibraries #UniversityPress #OER #HigherEd MIT Open Learning MIT OpenCourseWare Open Education Global (OEGlobal)
