Pressbooks is a book production software that allows educators to create, adapt, and share accessible, interactive, web-first books.
MSUM currently allows for the creation of unlimited books by our faculty and staff. Please request an account through the interest form or reach out to oer@mnstate.edu for more information.
In addition, we provide learning opportunities to use Pressbooks to the fullest. View the slides from our most recent workshop, Introduction to Pressbooks. Stay tuned for additional Pressbooks workshops later this year.
The Pressbooks User Guide is a great resource to find answers for common questions you may have while writing and publishing your book with Pressbooks Create.
A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a persistent identifier that uniquely identifies an object, such as a research paper or book. MSUM is a member of Crossref, a DOI registration agency, that allows us to manage DOI creation and registration services for non-published works.
DOIs are a valuable tool that can improve the discoverability, credibility, visibility, and overall impact of your work.
Reach out to oer@mnstate.edu for more information or to request your OER be registered with a DOI.
