Summary:

"PORTLAND, OR – Through its Open Educational Resources initiative, Portland Community College has saved its students more than $1 million on textbook costs since 2015, the college announced Monday.

Now PCC faculty and staff are raising the bar, aiming for $3 million in savings over the next two years.

'Faculty from across the college have adopted open and alternative course materials to make these student savings possible,' PCC reference librarian Jen Klaudinyi said in the college's statement. 'Even when open texts are available for courses, it takes hard work to redesign classes, so it is the faculty who deserve congratulations for achieving these savings.'"
