Open Textbooks - Open Educational Resources - LibGuides at University of Lethbridge

Textbooks are getting more and more expensive, and students are increasingly resistant to buying them. We see more and more students in the library hoping that we have their textbook on our shelves (we usually don't, and if we did someone else has already borrowed it). By using an Open Textbook or other basing your course around other freely available resources (such as other OERs and materials available through the library and/or put on reserve) you can save your students a lot of money. You can start by checking out the Open Textbook Library, which is supported by the Center for Open Education and the Open Textbook Network. Browse subject areas to find free, openly-licensed textbooks that have been reviewed by faculty from a variety of colleges and universities
