Open Educational Resources (OERs) and Library-Licensed Content

What is OER?

Understanding OER

OER stands for open educational resources. OER are low or no-cost resources that are openly licensed and available for distribution. Open textbooks are one type of OER.

Library Licensed Content

OER are different from library-licensed content, which includes articles and e-books which the library pays for. Library materials are licensed for noncommercial research, education, and scholarship. Users may view, download, and print reasonable portions. They may not redistribute or modify content in any way. Library-licensed materials have the advantage of free access as long as the student is enrolled.
