Calling all #Chemists at #ACSFall2023: swing by the #LibreTexts booth (1554) in the exhibit hall tomorrow through Wednesday, say hey, and pick up some swag. Bring your #OER questions, too!
@lightweight thanks for asking. We use #open to primarily mean the 5R's codified via #CreativeCommons and #GNU licensing. We do have some content that doesn't follow this (e.g. content w/ an ND clause); in these cases #open
means #OpenAccess. Everything created on the #LibreTexts site is #OER open.
For code, we refer primarily to GNU and MIT licensed open-source content.
We hope this helps answer your question. Let us know if we can clarify anything else related to our greater #LibreVerse.
The #LibreTexts team is happy to continue to support Mizzou Academy's efforts as part of our #LibreNet consortium! Thank you for helping ensure the future of #education is #open.
This year's #LibreFest registration will be up soon! Registration is $35 & includes limited edition 15th anniversary #LibreTexts swag. Did you know #LibreNet consortium members are eligible for full or partial fee waivers? Message us for more info: info@libretexts.org.
Happy Monday to all the #EBSCO #EDS & #FacultySelect #libraries out there! You can now select #LibreTexts from your provider list & our #OER content will be included in your users' search results. Big thanks to #EBSCO for including us in their indexing!
