Biography

Amanda Langdon started work at Nielsen Library in Fall 2018. By the end of that year, she'd been asked to "be" the Library's OER specialist as "other duties as assigned." She came across Channel Island (California)'s "Closing the Gap" webinar, and from that moment on, it became her greatest passion project. The following summer, she and Nielsen's Learning & Engagement Librarian Kat Parker wrote "Bridging the Gap: Rural Librarians’ Journey to Understanding Students’ Role in OER Outreach," published in the International Journal of Open Educational Resources, Special Issue on Librarians as Fundamental, Transformational, & Visionary Leaders in the OER Movement, Winter 2020. In the Fall of 2020, Amanda established the campus' Open Education Committee, and was promptly elected Committee Chair. Through periodic surveys, presentations, and outreach, she has sought to raise awareness across campus of the impact of textbook/course materials costs on students, support faculty in seeking and adopting alternatives, and provide any and all assistance possible to further ASU's budding Open Education Initiative.
