H2O Open Casebook is a platform for creating high quality, freely available online casebooks 📖 By @HarvardLIL at Harvard Law School Library (@hlslib).
H2O is a way for you to create high-quality, freely available, online casebooks. Today we're sharing a new video introduction to the basics of H2O, and what it offers to students and faculty: vimeo.com/422850658
Equal access to information has many facets, but a low price tag (free!) and open distribution online (with the ability to print at home!) goes a long way. Create casebooks that are free to use and distribute. Built and maintained @HarvardLIL@hlslib#AALS2022#equality#OER
Freedom is cultivated when anyone can access learning & education. H2O allows professors to create free digital casebooks for their courses, license them openly, & be part of a community aiming to liberate legal textbooks! Built & maintained by @HarvardLIL@hlslib#AALS2022
Libraries: palaces to the people, serving the common good. @HarvardLIL works to extend that mission into the digital world. We've combine @caselawaccess & @opencasebook to allow law profs to create free digital casebooks for their students. Built & maintained @hlslib#AALS2022
Create free, open source, digital casebooks with Harvard Law Library’s opencasebook.org! By integrating @caselawaccess project’s 360 years of American caselaw we’ve made it easy to tailor a casebook to your specific course and give your students access for free. #AALS2022

Brian Quinn (@bjmquinn), a professor @BCLaw, teaches corporate law with H2O: "the reason I went to H2O was because I could use the platform to develop materials that really reflected my course." Read more and access his free and open casebook at about.opencasebook.org/blog/…
Last year, professors Michelle Oberman, @WDavidBall, and Mike Flynn at @santaclaralaw used H2O to create an open, collaborative Criminal Law casebook with their students. Now, they are encouraging others to transition to open education resources for law: about.opencasebook.org/blog/…
Using H2O's 'remix' functionality, the professors were able to build their book using sections of existing casebooks from @JeannieSGersen and Tim Wu (@superwuster), while adding original content. Read more details in the full post. about.opencasebook.org/blog/…
