The power of OER is in its re-use by others, creating a rich learning environment. You benefit from OER, by being able to access a variety of resources for your various learning and teaching needs. Likewise, it is important for you to publish the OER you create, so that it is available to others (for further re-use or re-purposing), to sustain a virtuous cycle of receiving-giving (access->create->publish).   

Technology for creation and self-expression has become one of the defining features of the increased ICT availability of ICT in today's society.  OER allows for this creativity and expression; in fact, the power of OER is in its re-use by others, creating a rich learning environment. You benefit from OER, by being able to access a variety of resources for your various learning and teaching needs. Likewise, it is important for you to publish the OER you create, so that it is available to others (for further re-use or re-purposing), to sustain a virtuous cycle of receiving-giving (access->create->publish).   

It is also important for you to access existing OER, revise them to make them more valuable (by improving their accuracy or comprehensiveness, by contextualising them, by translating them etc.), and publishing the revised OER. Such re-purposing and publishing will make it easier for others to get OER that they want (access->re-purpose->publish).

You have so far maintained your OER in your own computer in your personal digital library. This is accessible only to you. However if you publish your OER on the world wide web, it will be available to anyone, any time. Publishing content on-line is making available, a copy of your personal digital library on the the web, which is like a global digital library.

You can publish your OER in popular OER repositories, some of which have been mentioned earlier in this toolkit. This chapter briefly discusses OER repositories where you could publish the OER you create or re-purpose.
