Abstract
Since its launch in April, 2012, the University of Minnesota's Open Textbook Library (OTL) has been the most comprehensive source for faculty to find quality open textbooks. Traffic on the OTL has increased exponentially over the past three years, as faculty from nearly every country in the world have used it to find affordable, flexible, openly licensed textbooks. In 2015, a much improved Open Textbook Library was released with many improvements that have made the textbooks in the collection more sustainable, more professionally formatted, and more easily adaptable by faculty. Learn about the improvements and how they can help faculty in your school make the most of open textbooks.
