Emily Carlisle-Johnston

Professional Biography

I provide education and support for researchers and authors to make their work Open Access, helping them to make informed decisions in doing so. I also work with faculty looking to incorporate Open Educational Resources (OER) in their teaching as a way to support student success. This includes helping faculty find and evaluate OER, assessing licensing options for re-use and adaptation of OER, and supporting the use of Open publishing software such as Pressbooks.

I have been in my current role at Western Libraries since 2020, having previously worked as a Project Lead at eCampusOntario and as a Scholarly Communications and Research Data Management Librarian at Nipissing University/Canadore College.
