There’s no time like the present to become familiar with Open Educational Resources (OER) – educational materials that are freely accessible to everyone for the purposes of learning and research.

The UA Libraries recently announced that open, electronic, full-text textbooks from the collection Open Textbook Library have been uploaded to the UA Libraries Catalog. To see the complete list of these ebooks, enter the phrase, “Open Textbook Library”, in the catalog search box. For a more focused search on psychology textbooks, as example, enter the terms, “Open Textbook Library” psychology, in the catalog search box.

Additional information regarding OER is available on the library’s LibGuide at:  http://libguides.uakron.edu/wayne_OER

OER are sure to be beneficial to both students and instructors alike. Take some time and discover them!
