Publishing OER
About Publishing OER
We are currently at capacity for new publishing projects. If you would like to find out more about publishing with us, get in touch with the Open Education team.
Deakin Library supports a targeted OER publishing scheme, which aims to deliver demonstrated impact on student success and outcomes.
We support the Deakin community to adapt and create open educational resources (OER) and provide access to and support for infrastructure that enables OER development and sharing. We optimise the impact and visibility of Deakin-developed OER across learning, teaching, and engagement.
Our publishing service includes:
- Advising the Deakin academic community on OER publishing considerations and production practices
- Acting as production partners on OER adaption and creation projects through our OER Grants Scheme
- Managing Library-approved OER publishing platforms
- Promoting and showcasing Deakin-developed OER

The Library celebrates the creativity and generosity of Deakin staff who share their knowledge through open educational resources (OER), helping to shape a future where no student is required to buy a textbook and open is the default. We believe education is a public good and that learning resources should be open, inclusive, and accessible to all.
Deakin Library publishes open resources across multiple platforms:
Deakin Open eBooks
Deakin Open eBooks is a catalogue of Deakin-published open educational resources (OER). It is hosted on Pressbooks, a platform purpose-built for open textbook publishing.
Deakin Research Online (DRO)
We use DRO to host multimedia-based collections of OER. Adding our OER to the institutional repository also emphasises the relationship between education and research.
