Abstract

Open Educational Resources (OER) have become potent instruments for revolutionizing education in the modern day, when students' access to information is critical to their success in school.  As a result of the proliferation of digital resources, college libraries are transforming from static repositories of information into active centers of student learning.  The research delves into the important function of open educational resources (OER) in university libraries, specifically looking at how they aid in knowledge preservation, accessibility, affordability, and collaborative development.  Academic settings' use of open educational resources (OER), difficulties in implementing them, and ways to make the most of their potential to preserve intellectual legacy are all covered.
