LibreTexts website heirarchy is way too complicated and deep #2

It currently seems to take a minimum of 9 actions by the user to get to a textbook page. Here is an example:

  1. Go to libretexts.org.
  2. Hover over "Explore Libraries" and select "Chemistry
  3. Select "Campus Courses"
  4. Select "University of California, Davis"
  5. Select "CHE 2A: General Chemistry 1"
  6. Select "UCD Chem 2A"
  7. Select "Text"
  8. Select "Unit 0: Primer"
  9. Select "Chemistry in the Modern World"

I think 3 actions would be a better goal:

  1. Go to libretexts.org
  2. Select the book (takes you to table of contents)
  3. Select chapter 1 to get to the first page

Maybe 4 if you really want to have them divided up by institution.

Once automatic PDF and EPUB generation is available for entire textbooks/LibreTexts, Delmar had wanted a sort of downloads center in order to browse and access them in a more all-inclusive location. It may be a compacted version of this https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/.
