Librarians can help you find OER suited to your course needs. We'll consult with you to understand your learning objectives, current course materials, and student needs to inform our search together.
Contact Ashley Morrison, Tocker Open Education Librarian, to get help. You may also fill out this form to initiate a request for reviews of existing free and affordable course materials.
Many other libraries have curated lists and guides to existing discipline-specific OER. We invite you to review those below -- or, better yet, just ask us for help finding what you need! Librarians can compile guides to OER customized to your course.
