The Open Educational Resources within this guide have been evaluated by faculty, librarians, and other relevant parties prior to inclusion. The lists of OER in each discipline are not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to provide a sample of the key resources available. This guide will be updated periodically as new resources are identified, evaluated, and adopted.
