dc.description.abstractOpen Educational Resources (OER) represent a significant initiative aimed at enhancing the accessibility of educational materials for all interested learners. The study investigates the awareness, usage patterns, perceived benefits, and barriers to OER adoption among Library and Information Science (LIS) students across various colleges in Kerala. Data were collected from 101 respondents (39.61%) out of a sample of 255 students, selected through simple random sampling from nine colleges. The findings indicate that the majority of LIS students are aware of OER and utilize them effectively. Key benefits identified include cost-effective learning and improved accessibility, while notable challenges encompass concerns regarding the quality of resources and technical difficulties. The study highlights the need for institutions to actively promote OER through targeted training and increased participation, particularly in the context of open courses. Regular evaluation and the organization of OER-focused congresses are recommended to ensure resource quality, and further democratize knowledge dissemination
