Are you an instructor charged with putting together a textbook? You have resources available to help, especially with the LibreTexts remixer, but you’re reminded that it has to be accessible. You may not be familiar with accessibility integrations and inquire “What resources are available within LibreTexts to help with accessibility?”
That’s where the LibreTexts Accessibility Checker comes to help!

LibreTexts (libretexts.org) and Learnful (learnful.io) have committed to coordinate their activities to design, develop, and promote open source technologies for open education.

Greetings, OpenEd advocates! The LibreTexts team is happy to announce a special virtual fall LibreFest workshop to be held over two half days on October 10-11, 2022. Learn how to construct, edit, and remix content on the LibreTexts platform. You'll also get an in-depth look at our open homework system, Adapt.
LibreTexts (formly ChemWiki) currently benefits over 60 million students per year and is the most visited chemistry website in the world. Central to our success is the construction and adoption of faculty specific and freely accessible course and instructor designed "LibreTexts" that substitute for costly conventional textbooks in post-secondary courses. Libretexts are assembled by incorporating content from an extensive network of existing chemistry and broader STEM materials.
