OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
When you are considering changing textbooks for a course one avenue to explore is the ever growing world of Open Educational Resources. Another possibility are the e-books to which the library subscribes; on occasion we can find one that allows for multiple user access and meets the needs of a particular course. Both of these options bless the lives of the students by reducing the cost of their education.
