Open Educational Resources (OER):
Find OER

Searching for OER

We know that it can be overwhelming to find appropriate OER.

Begin your search using the search engines below to get a broad overview of available materials hosted on various repositories. If you come up empty-handed, the repositories on the Textbooks, Audiovisual Materials, Primary Sources, and Course Modules pages may help you find what you need. And if not -- your Library Liaison is ready to help!

If you'd like to recommend a resource to add to this guide, email Alli Martel at amartel5@springfield.edu
