Abstract
Resource sharing among libraries is very common from many decades. The open education movement is a combination of the established traditions of resource sharing and using technology in collaboration with other educators and learners who can contribute to use, access, and create content under this open education movement. Libraries are adopting this OER movement to provide their users access to a large number of educational contents without any additional financial burden. The open educational resources movement has grown at global level consistently due to new initiatives, various guidelines and various declarations held. Such consistent initiatives and projects gave a remarkable impetus in stimulating Open educational resources movement and played an important role to give it a universally renowned movement. This paper describes the role played by leading international organisations in spreading awareness and promotion of Open educational resources at global level.
