Hi. I am Juana Ibanez. I am a participant in the Human Geography cohort and hope to write useful sections for an OER after assessing what is out there already with the rest of my colleagues in the cohort. Learning to edit… I am an instructor at the University of New Orleans.

Brian Sherman from LSU Shreveport, Dean of the Library and all around fun librarian, who is the librarian leader in the Microeconomics cohort. I’m hoping our group creates/ adapts a dynamic text that appeals to undergrads in a context they enjoy and is highly interactive.

Hi. Michael Martin here. I’m an Associate Professor of English, Modern Languages, and Cultural Studies at Nicholls State University, in Thibodaux. My first book is due to be published any day now!: https://libraries.clemson.edu/press/books/appalachian-pastoral/
I’m in the Intro to Philosophy working group. We want to create a new OER textbook for philosophy undergraduate studies. We also want to increase dual enrollment capabilities. We have yet to meet as a group.

My name is Kevin McQueeney, and I am a member of the Western Civ cohort. I am an Assistant Professor of History at Nicholls State University. My vision for the project is adapt existing OER course material–including an OER textbook–to create a Western Civ course that best meets the needs of dual enrollment students in Louisiana.

Hi I am Peter Klubek. I am in the Philosophy cohort. I am interested in exploring the Philosophy OER’s mentioned by Joel. Perhaps we can modify one and give it a Louisiana spin!

Hi everyone! My name is Jeffrey Stepp (he/him), and I am the cataloger, systems administrator, and electronic resources librarian at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston.
I’m one of the librarian cohort leaders of the World Regional Geography cohort. I’m new to this project, and I’m hoping to learn a lot about the process from my co-leader, Jessica Hawkes. I’m excited to learn more about the behind-the-scenes process of producing an OER.

Hi everyone. I’m Connie Milton and I am a librarian at SOWELA Technical Community College in Lake Charles. I have only been working in an academic library since the end of August, so all of this is very new for me and it will definitely be a learning experience. I am part of the Western Civ cohort and I will be serving as the librarian leader. I do have an M.A. in history so I might be able to contribute there as well. I hope we can create an OER that will be useful to all of our students.
