OASIS (Openly Available Sources Integrated Search) is a search tool recently developed and launched by SUNY Geneseo’s Milne Library that works like a library catalog. It provides an easy-to-use search interface and includes a highly-selective collection of textbooks, courses, interactive simulations, audiobooks, learning objects, and more. There are over 150,000 items available coming from 52 different sources like Open NYS, CUNY, Open Textbooks, OER Services, and SUNY.
Leaders in open education discuss the growing number of platforms available for locating OER and their favorite starting points, including OER Commons and the Open Textbook Library. It's also possible to filter by license type (or usage rights) to search for OER on commonly used search engines, such as Google, YouTube, and Flickr.
See our list of OER Repositories below for more ways to find OER.
