OER Librarian
Review
As a full-time OER Librarian, I work with faculty across multiple disciplines, modalities, and platforms to support the adoption, curation, and creation of open educational resources. We recognize that faculty have limited time, and learning new software can be daunting. Most faculty default to Word, Google Docs, or Canvas to build OER, but these tools often result in cumbersome, difficult-to-navigate resources that can take 150–300 hours to develop. Faculty struggle to edit long documents and remix content effectively, and students find the final product less usable.
Switching to LibreTexts transformed our workflow. Tasks that once required over 100 hours now take just one or two. The total time to remix and curate an OER dropped from 300 hours to just 20. LibreTexts streamlined our work breakdown structures, making the entire process more efficient, scalable, and sustainable.
I’ve seen the results firsthand. Faculty love the flexibility, and students love having their materials in multiple formats—whether in print, on their phones, embedded in Canvas, or on the LibreTexts website.
I’m all in. I’ve drunk the Kool-Aid. I’ve seen the power of LibreTexts, and it’s the software I promote the most.
