    1. http://www.onthecommons.org/debunking-tragedy-commons

      Maybe I've just missed it, but I can't see a link to the actual article described at this link? I found "The Myth of the Tragedy of the Commons" by Ian Angus, which I think is the article described.

    1. 4.1 Defining Language

      I think this chapter should be 4.2, since the previous chapter was 4.1

    1. B.C. Open Textbook Collection: Support Resources

      I'm leaving this link for now because we have no concrete plans to move these support resources to the new collection, and they are highly valuable.

      Need to update to media.bccampus.ca.

    2. Nursing Skills Videos

      Going to need to update this link to a playlist on media.bccampus.ca.

    1. UVic Libraries Research Toolkit

      I contact UVic about this broken link, and they said that the toolkit was out of date and had to be removed. They provided me a link to a page with similar content: https://www.uvic.ca/library/help/tips/index.php

    1. Le Français (French)

      Perhaps we could add the French-language Accessibility Toolkit? It's a toolkit, rather than a textbook, but I think it could be useful to some.

    1. Open Social Work Education

      Squarespace site has expired. This is the OER Commons resource group related to this site: https://www.oercommons.org/groups/open-social-work-education-oswe/2089/6302/

    1. Introduction to Polymers

      Missing licence. The page says CC BY-NC-SA, but it specifies that third-party materials are used with permission and are not subject to the licence. I don't know if this is why no licence is specified here?

    1. Instructional Methods, Strategies and Technologies to Meet the Needs of All Learners

      Missing a description.

    1. Open Pedagogy Examples

      The linked Google Doc is blank. A previous version can be restored that has actual content (see the version from October 14, 2020). Then I would suggest changing the permissions for this link from Editing to Suggesting or Viewing.

    1. Climate Toolkit: A Resource Manual for Science and Action

      This book requires a log in to the Portland State University Pressbooks instance. Perhaps we should write to the author or open education contact at this institution to find out if this is purposeful.

      Broken link.

    1. Navigate the textbook

      Krista mentioned that she spoke to a faculty member that found the Pressbooks interface to be a little confusing; they didn't know about the red Previous and Next arrows at the bottom of the screen. I wonder if we should include something about these arrows here when explaining how to navigate the textbook?

    1. Webbook Chapter and Part URLs

      Any thoughts on whether URLs should match the chapter or part title exactly, or whether a shorter URL is better? For instance, if a chapter in a history textbook is titled, "Fur Traders and Indigenous Relations during the 18th Century," would a better URL be "fur-traders-and-indigenous-relations-during-the-18th-century" or "fur-trade-18th-century"? Personally, I like the shorter URL better, but that does create extra work. Plus, there could be a chapter on a similar enough topic elsewhere in the book that a more complicated URL could be required elsewhere, so it's more subjective than just using the chapter title verbatim as the URL.

    2. media attributions

      We link to so many different sources for media attributions, including government and museum websites, that this piecemeal process seems inefficient. It might be easier to search for "Media Attributions" and manually add the code to each one.

    3. links to specific chapters or sections

      I would reword this as "links used to navigate within a book, rather than to an external resource"

    4. images should not link to their media file

      Maybe explain why this is?

    5. Canadian spelling

      I think that we need to agree to a spelling list that includes more than what's just in the COD. Individual books might have some differences (for example, if a book in a specific discipline chooses to capitalize a word that is normally lowercase because it is important to the discipline), but it would be nice to have a standard spelling list, more or less. I tend to use the one in the Appendix of the Self-Publishing Guide.

    1. headings

      This is a problem I've encountered many times, and every book seems to have a different way of treating textbox titles. So what should we do instead? Bold them?

    1. Links

      Do links work? Have they been archived using the Wayback Machine?

    2. numbering systems

      I would also ask if numbered list HTML is used or if the author has manually numbered things like review exercises, which often happens when sublists use letters (a, b, c) because they don't know how to change the type of the numbered list.

    1. *Title: Required (provided by author)

      It might be easier to read this page if all these Book Info elements were in a bulleted list.

    1. list

      Any particular format? Will this look like a Word doc on my personal computer, or something uploaded to SharePoint that everyone can see and add to?

    2. Production Process

      I kind of wish that sections were not collapsible, as having everything in front of me at once would give me a better sense of what the production process entails.
