Summary:

"The burden of textbook costs shouldered by students is a sticking point as each semester begins. It can dampen the studious excitement when a student finds out that he or she has a required text that could break the bank, so to speak.

Craig Finlay, scholarly communication librarian for the Franklin D. Schurz Library is working to do something to ease that burden with open educational resources (OERs)."
