Join the Open Textbooks Call to Action
Textbooks are way too expensive. Fortunately, we have an alternative -- open textbooks are quality books, written and peer-reviewed by experts, that professors and students can use for free. Colleges are already saving students millions of dollars by using open textbooks in a relatively small number of classes. Now it's time to make open textbooks the norm on campus.Read more
How to Make Textbooks More Affordable
We're excited to announce the release of our newest campaign resource, a toolkit for our Making Textbooks Affordable program.
The high cost of textbooks has become a serious obstacle to the affordability of a college education. The textbook market is rigged so that publishers can generate huge profits and engage in bad practices at students’ expense.
Fortunately, we have solutions to this problem, most notably in the form of “open textbooks” – high-quality books that are available online for free or for a very low cost in print. With solutions like these, we can break the publishers’ stranglehold on the market and help make higher education more accessible to everyone.
Our new toolkit provides the resources that student governments need in order to bring open textbooks to their campuses and save students money. Download it today!
