-This is the official website for the "Lessons for Librarians in Open Science Principles and Methods" project, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
+## Description
 
-## Project Overview
+This project provides a comprehensive, open-source curriculum hub for librarians covering Open Science principles, data management, and reproducibility. The curriculum consists of 14 peer-reviewed open science lesson plans developed through an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funded initiative.
 
-This site serves as a curriculum hub for librarians, providing access to:
-*   Peer-reviewed open science lesson plans.
-*   Instructor guides and resources.
-*   Profiles of the lesson authors and contributors.
-*   Foundational open science frameworks and references.
+**Target Audience:** Librarians at any career stage seeking to increase their aptitudes in the principles and practices of Open Science.
 
-## Call for Pilots
+**Learning Outcomes:** Upon completion of these lessons, learners will be able to:
+- Apply open science principles and methods in library instruction and research support
+- Effectively collaborate with faculty and researchers on science projects using open science practices
+- Provide instruction to new researchers on data management, reproducibility, and open research workflows
+- Utilize modern tools and technologies for open and reproducible research
 
-We are currently looking for community members to pilot these lessons. If you are interested in teaching or field-testing any of these materials, please [open an issue on our Pilot Interest tracker](https://github.com/ucla-imls-open-sci/ucla-imls-open-sci.github.io/issues/new?template=pilot-interest.yml).
+## Rendered Lesson Website
 
-## Tech Stack
+The complete curriculum and lesson materials are available at: **[https://ucla-imls-open-sci.info](https://ucla-imls-open-sci.info)**
 
-This site has been migrated from Jekyll to **Astro** (v5). It uses:
-*   **Framework**: Astro
-*   **Styling**: SCSS (Bootstrap-based Agency theme)
-*   **Content**: YAML data files and Markdown
-*   **Deployment**: GitHub Actions -> GitHub Pages
