Q. How do I cite Open Educational Resources (OER)?

Citing openly licensed materials, whether they're images or videos or textbooks, is often referred to as "attribution" in the Open Educational Resources (OER) world.

To "attribute" something, you are giving credit. It's the same idea as "citing" - just a different term for it. 

Citing = Attributing

Citation = Attribution

You can cite or attribute openly licensed materials in different ways, depending on the context and the type of resource. 

Review this Licensing and attribution page from the Open Educational Resources(OER) Subject Guide for further information.

For guidance on which citation style to use, consult your subject guide, lecturer, or tutor.

Contact your School Librarian for further assistance.
