Open Educational Resources (OER) & Textbook Equity

Whether you have a homegrown course "packet" or aspire to create an entire textbook, Rod Library can support you in creating, licensing, and sharing materials that you intend to be free of charge. This includes modifying or combining existing materials that are openly-licensed. Details: https://guides.lib.uni.edu/oer/authoring

Below are selected Open Educational Resources (OER) in math, with an emphasis on resources used by other Iowa colleges/universities as well as textbooks reviewed in the Open Textbook Library or by relevant associations. Some free resources may be included that aren't technically OER because they do not have open licenses. As with any course materials, be sure to evaluate each resource for quality and usage rights.

For all Open Textbook Library titles in math, see https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/subjects/mathematics.

For more, use the Find Open Textbooks tab on the left side of this guide. Rod Library's OneSearch also includes some open textbooks as well as licensed ebooks; note that if you plan to use a library-licensed ebook for a course, you need to notify your liaison librarian well in advance (more on textbooks & library ebooks).
