The Open Education Week (TOE) was first organized in March 2012 as an initiative of the Open Education Consortium. The idea of TOE is very similar to Open Access Week - educational and scientific institutions from all over the world involved in sharing their resources and open projects organize events promoting and raising awareness about open education.

The Open Education Coalition informs about the events in Poland and the Open Education Week website internationally.

What do we, SUM librarians, do in the field of open education? Everything that is possible - every day. We raise awareness, we educate, we inform. We acquire, collect, compile, present sources, verify, help understand learning and influence its quality. We collaborate and share experiences. Librarians are advisors and guides to sources and resources that become more open than ever.

Please be informed that in connection with the Announcement 4/2021 of February 5, 2021 of the Rector of the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice regarding the resumption of classes for students, Library of the Medical University of Silesia from February 22 this year will be open from 7.30 am to 7.30 pm.

We invite you to take advantage of the trial access to Bentham Science journals and eBooks. During the trial journal issues (2000-2021) in full text and sample e-book content (over 800) will be available.
