Item Be(com)ing OE Librarians in Ukraine During Wartime: Taking Down Language Barriers and Practising Inclusion(Open/Technology in Education, Society, and Scholarship Association, Canada, 2023) Kolesnykova, Tetiana O.; Buist-Zhuk, Mira; Corti, PaolaENG: Ukrainian librarians are champions of positive change despite the ongoing war with Russia. The academic library of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies has continued to support students and faculty, even while working remotely from home basements, sharing computers, and taking care of each others’ children, despite air-raid alarms and daily electricity and heating outages. However, this is just a part of their work. They take every opportunity to advance their open agenda by upskilling through peer-to-peer learning, participating in international networks, and adapting existing and creating new OER. They are building bridges between the present and the future: as soon as this war is over, Ukrainian librarians will facilitate enhanced teaching and learning opportunities with fresh, professional skills and external collaborations. All this while relentlessly facing language issues: rejecting Russia’s linguicide attempts and working with colleagues from other countries. The latter incentivises the international community to provide support. The former requires a different strategy: Ukrainian librarians are actively working to preserve their country’s language and heritage, ensuring that its history and culture are not forgotten, despite the war. This presentation offers an opportunity to hear their story and build new collaborative pathways while strengthening existing ones.
