Don’t Buy New Textbooks – The Current

"H.R. Bill 3721, commonly called the Affordable College Textbook Act, is a bill that seeks to “achieve the highest level of savings for students; expand the use of open textbooks at other IHEs; and produce open textbooks that are of the highest quality, that can be most easily utilized and adapted by faculty members, that correspond to the highest enrollment courses, and that are created or adopted in partnership with entities that will assist in their marketing and distribution.”

Of course, such a bill will not be perfect, nor is it likely to be passed with any sense of urgency."
