Summary:
"A new open textbook initiative could save students thousands of dollars in textbook prices if the program picks up momentum.
Students have been speaking out for years about the cost of textbooks ... The idea is already becoming a reality in some classes at OSU. It’s called the open textbook initiative, where faculty publish their own content online that is available free of charge ... The open textbook initiative is a new program – a partnership among OSU Libraries, OSU Press, and OSU Extended Campus. Despite its recent appearance at OSU, the program says it hopes more professors on campus will participate in the nationwide movement."
