Introducing OER Commons
With colleagues from around the state, LOUIS has developed an online site (https://louis.oercommons.org/) mapping open materials to courses commonly taught in the state. Learn how to explore open content for the courses you teach and support, how to contribute your own openly licensed resources, and how LOUIS is engaging faculty from around the state as they learn about OER.

Faculty Portal - A tool for faculty to search for e-books
The LOUIS Faculty Portal provides an interface for faculty to identify content that can be accessed immediately or purchased by the library to directly support textbook affordability efforts. The search options allow the faculty to explore both Open Educational Resources (OER) and purchasable e-books to support their courses.
