Announcing the 2026 Cycle of AtlanticOER Development Grants

The Council of Atlantic Academic Libraries (CAAL-CBPA) is excited to announce the 2026 cycle of the AtlanticOER Development Grants.

The AtlanticOER Development Grant program is intended to encourage and support educators in the Atlantic region in the adaptation, creation, and curation of Open Educational Resources (OER). These grants provide financial support to educators teaching credit-bearing courses at publicly funded post-secondary institutions who are interested in creating or adapting new educational resources for their classes. There are three tiers of funding that applicants can apply for, each of which represents a different scope and type of project.

Applications for the 2026 cycle of the AtlanticOER Development Grant program open December 15, 2025, and are due on February 6, 2026. The applications are put through a single blind process, and a committee of CAAL-CBPA members reviews and ranks the applications. Successful applicants will be notified in mid to late March 2026.

An open webinar about the application process will be held on January 13, 2026.

New! Dal authors can publish for free in eligible Oxford University Press journals

By Hailey Wills

We are pleased to announce that, through our ongoing partnership with the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), Dal authors can access discounted or no article processing charges (APCs) when publishing in eligible Oxford University Press journals.

Because the cost of open access (OA) publishing is packaged with the Libraries’ subscriptions, there are no additional costs to Dalhousie authors. Dal authors can benefit from unlimited OA publishing in over 350 Oxford University Press hybrid journals with no article processing charges. There is also a 10% discount on article processing charges when publishing in Oxford’s gold open access journals. The agreement extends from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2026.

More details, including eligible journals and how to apply for the waiver or discount, are available on our Open Access LibGuide page.
