Tutorial Source Files

This page contains the source files for tutorials that were created by Ohio University Libraries. Ohio University Libraries have benefited from a number of open source applications. The Libraries use open source applications for blogs, wikis, podcasts, videos, tutorials, surveys and other purposes. The Libraries have applied open source software to enhance services, access to sources, and library instruction initiatives. It is our hope that by making the source files for our tutorials available, we will be contributing back to the open source community in some small way.
