    It would be helpful to add peer-reviewed OER to CDI.

    I wholeheartedly support this idea. Our colleges in Hawaii are active participants and co-creators in this space and this resource is invaluable to our faculty.

    Yes, this 'idea' is very important as well. Increasingly, LibreText is the go-to for our instructional faculty.

    We would like to add LibreTexts vast collection of open educational resources (OER), including ebooks and course materials bibliographic records added to the Alma CZ: https://libretexts.org/ Then, libraries could add LibreTexts ebooks and course materials to course reserve lists in Alma and Primo.

    LibreTexts is home to the largest collection of open educational resources online. Adding LibreTexts ebooks and course materials to the Alma CZ would ensure users have access to OER from across a wide variety of disciplines.

    Please add my vote in support of Ryan Edward's idea to add Libre texts OER materials to the CDI.

  • Ryan Edwards commented  · 

    It would also be useful, if the the LibreTexts ebooks could be added to the CZ as bib records, so not just the site could be indexed, but all the site's content could be harvested.

    Thanks,
