Happy #OpenEducationWeek! This week, we celebrate open education & the impact it has on students & their learning environments. We also celebrate librarians & the work that they do to support teachers & staff in adopting #OpenEducationalResources. Where would we be without them?

Memories of Utrecht, one month ago! Probably the first and last time I'll be able to say I was a train conductor for a poster session at an academic conference. Thanks @ISSOTL.
Pat posing as 'Poster Journey' train conductor. Standing at the top of blue stairs in the door way of a teal-coloured train car. Pat is dressed with a conductor's hat, holding a stop sign and blowing a whistle. A smiling passenger and a rushing passenger can be seen in the background. The scene is all from inside the Dutch National Railway Museum (Het Spoorwegmuseum) in Utrecht, Netherlands.
