Lynx Open Ed

The OU Academy of the Lynx was established in 2002 with official permission from the Accademia dei Lincei in recognition of the OU Galileo collection. Its purpose as a Friends organization was to promote the History of Science Collections and increase its visibility in the central Oklahoma area. Numerous events were held both on and off campus up through 2015. During the Galileo’s World exhibit in 2015-2016, K12 exhibit-based educational outreach took place in the name of the OU Lynx. These Open Educational Resources (OERs) supported docent-led class visits to OU Libraries and docent-led programs for students third grade and up at area schools and public libraries.
