Great to see this! I’m curious what other repositories of OER adaptations and ancillaries people know of and appreciate?

I agree- I spotted this in a post in Mastodon by @AbbeyElder mention she is co-presenting this project today at the 2026 Library Publishing Forum

Found the session https://librarypublishing.org/full-session-introducing-digital-press-plus/.

What I appreciated when I took a quick tour of Digital Press was that provides access to the granular resources and activities that are part of the published open access content from the Digital Press.

Just clicking around I peeked at Hybridization-Centered Breeding of Climate-Resilient and Nutrient-Dense Finger Millet

It might be like having say a Pressbooks publishing platform for an institution or organization but being able to find specific assets used across a catalog (?). In looking around I can see that the ISU Digital Press is a platform that does include Pressbooks but as well, an interesting new platform (to me) Janeway.

I’m sure that MIT OCW comes to mind for most people!

Yes, we use Pressbooks to format, typeset, and host interactive OER from the Digital Press, but the exports are hosted in Janeway as the catalog for the Press and to drive visibility of them alongside other publications.

The Digital Press + is a new repository that links the catalog pages of books to materials that support them. We’re hoping in the future to get external users of our books to share slides or other materials they’ve created as well, not just the authors themselves!
