Initiative Title
Open Textbook Network workshop
Initiative Details
The MSU Libraries hosted an Open Textbook Network (OTN) workshop for faculty and other university partners in October. The workshop helped launch our participation in the Open Educational Resources (OER) Program, which aims to reduce educational costs for students by providing free, low-cost, and openly-licensed learning materials. Open textbooks are a type of OER and are openly licensed to be freely used, edited, and distributed. Nearly 75 faculty members attended the workshop. The MSU Libraries have 668 titles from the Open Textbook Library available in our Library catalog.
