Manifold:
Manifold @CUNY is a digital publishing platform where you can share your own scholarship or educational materials, upload texts that are openly licensed or in the public domain, upload texts for collective annotation with Hypothes.is , and more. Another option is to use the Manifold Reading Groups to build your own course reader from materials already available on the CUNY instance of Manifold. Check out CUNY Student Editions for examples of public domain texts that are "accessibly designed for students" in Manifold. Additional project collections include Libros En Espanol and Teaching and Pedagogy Resources . Manifold is best used as a display platform for pre-existing or finalized texts. As a creation platform, it lacks the editing functionality of Pressbooks (there is no way to modify a text once uploaded), which can be a barrier for those seeking to make continuous adjustments to their work. Get started by signing up for a Manifold @CUNY account .


OpenEd CUNY:
OpenEd CUNY is a hub for sharing Open Educational Resources (OER) created at CUNY. Built as a part of the University's involvement in the New York State OER Scale Up Initiative, the site is used by CUNY's twenty-five campuses to facilitate OER-enabled pedagogy and make the work that faculty, staff, and students are creating more visible and shareable. If you're interested in getting a sense of OER at CUNY, OpenEd CUNY allows you to search by material type (syllabus, module, full course, game), educational level, media format (audio, video, eBook), as well as subject area.

Some ebooks are licensed for CUNY-wide use; others are licensed only to invididual CUNY campuses Graduate Center affiliates do not have remote access to ebooks held by other CUNY campuses. If you have a dual affiliation, you can access each campus's electronic collections using the OneSearch interface and credentials for that school. Printing and downloading options will vary according to platform or publisher, and is often prohibited or extremely limited. If there’s an e-book you can’t find, try Interlibrary Loan (ILL): Requests for chapters of books are often sent as electronic files through Interlibrary Loan , whereas whole ebooks are often not available via ILL due to licensing and digital restrictions of library ebooks. Try a request for a chapter or section!
