LibreTexts is a web-based platform that allows the creation, customization, and distribution of open educational resources (OERs) with the aim of providing free, open-access texts. The platform encourages collaboration among students, educators, and researchers in creating and sharing OERs, to lower the cost of textbooks. LibreTexts libraries, which are freely available online, are part of a large network that offers not only individual textbooks but also an extensive library for the creation and sharing of new texts. The platform guarantees up-to-date, consistent information and allows teachers to customize projects according to their needs.
Unlike PDF Drive, LibreTexts is not only part of the Ebook Library category but also functions as a Learning Management System, making it a popular open-source alternative. Unlike PDF Drive, which supports both online and Android platforms, LibreTexts operates exclusively online. The platform is community-driven, expanding through the work of active collaborators and featuring numerous interactive visualizations for improved learning comprehension.
