Dear Venecia, Yes, the majority of the B.C. Open Textbook Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/> was migrated to the B.C. Open Collection<https://collection.bccampus.ca/> in June of 2022. Resources that were not included in the migration were those that did not meet the required criteria for the B.C. Open Collection or were outdated. Support resources and openly licensed materials that are neither textbooks nor course materials were not added to the B.C. Open Collection. Below are links to these items: * Support Resources<https://open.bccampus.ca/create-open-textbooks/support-resources/> * Provincial Curriculum Guides and Supplements: Health Care Assistant, Practical Nursing, and Access to Practical Nursing,<https://bccampus.ca/projects/health-care-assistant-hca-access-to-practical-nursing-apn-and-practical-nursing-pn-curriculum-guides/> * Pulling Together series (Indigenization guides),<https://bccampus.ca/projects/archives/indigenization/indigenization-guides/> * Mental Health and Wellness resources,<https://bccampus.ca/projects/archives/wellness/mental-health-and-wellness/> * Post-Secondary Peer Support Curriculum and Facilitator’s Guide,<https://bccampus.ca/projects/archives/wellness/peer-support-adaptation-project/> * Preventing and Responding to Sexual Violence training resources.<https://bccampus.ca/projects/intersectional-sexualized-violence-project/preventing-sexual-violence/> Please contact open(a)bccampus.ca if you have further questions.
