Purpose

The purpose of this guide is to reduce the cost of course materials for students.

Altoona faculty may contact their OER Liaison, Lori Lysiak, with questions about OERs and affordable educational resources, including:

  • How many pages of this book may I post on electronic reserve?
  • Are there e-books that might be good alternatives for print materials?
  • Where can I get support for writing an Open Access textbook?
  • Where can I find free ancillaries and low-cost courseware?
  • How can my students get low-cost texts through Top Hat?
