Until this community goes through a round on the new communities/promo communities, you are unlikely to get significant response when posting here. However, I would be very excited to hear ideas about how you think this community should be run and what resources it should offer. Please feel free to post to that effect. Similarly, if you are interested in joining the mod team, please reach out.

Came from the !communitypromo@lemmy.ca post

Open access textbooks would be cool! Here are some from my province / ones used at my school

Yep these are perfect. Had also considered putting together a separate community for books parallel to !opencourselectures@slrpnk.net. The main advantage there is searchability, but that does necessitate that each post relate directly to a book rather than a collection like you've listed here. Also feel free to make a top level post with those links (or if you'd prefer I'd be happy to do it) as that is exactly the sort of content we're looking for.

Cool that sounds perfect, and I agree with the thought

You can go ahead and add the posts, it might help people see how you would like things to be formatted :)
