We are proud to celebrate the fifth anniversary of OERSI, the search index for open educational resources in higher education. For the past five years, the OERSI team has been collecting metadata from various OER collections on the web, providing a consistent user interface and API for querying the metadata. Starting with ten providers in 2020, the search index now incorporates metadata from 45 collections, making over 90,000 educational resources, most of which are published under an open licence, discoverable with a single search.
