At the NCSU Libraries, we develop successful programming around the tenets of open. However these programs target audiences that are already interested in open tools. Instead of starting from the mechanisms that facilitate open, like licensing, we have begun a grassroots campaign to integrate open ethos into our community. In this workshop, NCSU librarians from the Copyright and Digital Scholarship Center and the Makerspace will discuss how they are growing an engaged community of open practitioners, and share methods for integrating open practices into learning activities. Participants will leave with a plan of action and resources to turn ideas into action
