In the recovery process after a three-week downtime¹ of our Mastodon instance, we have lost some posts (and followers). Because of this, we post a recap of what happened between November 19th and January 15th in this thread.

We connected #OER from the Institutional Repository of the Rey Juan Carlos University https://oersi.org/resources/?provider=%5B%22URJC%22%5D

Only resources that we can assign to a subject are listed in OERSI.

BURJC Digital, the University's Institutional Open Archive, aims to collect digital documents produced by Rey Juan Carlos University to support research, teaching, and learning, in order to make them available as openly licensed documents.

Thanks to everybody for boosting our first fedi post from 2022 and a warm welcome to our new followers!

If you want to know more about #OERSI, we just published a post on the occasion of the 5th anniversary: https://oersi.org/pages/en/blog/2025/10/29/oersi-anniversary-five-years-of-open-infrastructure-for-oer-discovery/

There are now approximately 800 textbooks and ancillary materials from GALILEO Open Learning Materials available in #OERSI https://oersi.org/resources/?provider=%5B%22GALILEO+Open+Learning+Materials%22%5D

GALILEO Open Learning Materials brings together #OER throughout the University System of Georgia, United States of America - see https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/

This year, we celebrate OERSI's 5th anniversary! 🎉 https://oersi.org/pages/en/blog/2025/10/29/oersi-anniversary-five-years-of-open-infrastructure-for-oer-discovery/ #OER #OERSI

@hugh@ausglam.space Thanks for your pointer to https://oercollective.caul.edu.au! We now have a ticket for adding the OER Collective's catalog to OERSI: https://gitlab.com/oersi/oersi-etl/-/issues/356

Can you point us to an interface where we can fetch the metadata? Or do you know who is the best contact person for answering questions re. harvesting the metadata?

@hugh@ausglam.space @Griffey@mastodon.social OK. We are currently harvesting Pressbooks via their API, see https://oersi.org/pages/en/blog/2023/11/02/pressbook-directory/ As OERSI includes Pressbooks, you could already get the MARC records from OERSI.

Generally, OERSI allows different filters, e.g. by subject, provider or language. We should probably document at some point how to create a MARC file for any desired OERSI subset. (The transformation code OERSI->MARC is at https://gitlab.com/oersi/oersi-marc/-/blob/main/README.md)

We added 39 #OER from HISTOCAT to #OERSI: https://oersi.org/resources/?provider=%5B%22Histocat%22%5D

Operated by the University of Trier and launched by the project NFDI4Memory, the repository collects #OER about data skills in history-related disciplines.
