What Can We Do About the Cost of Textbooks?<br />
Right here at home and around the country, students have trouble<br />
with the cost of textbooks. They often end up coming to class<br />
without one. The Open Textbook movement has developed in<br />
response. The aim is to provide students with access to free, online<br />
textbooks. This workshop will explore this movement and<br />
introduce you to archives of free textbooks some of which you can<br />
customize to meet your individual needs.<br />
You’ll also learn about Google Books. Google Books has scanned<br />
millions of books into digital format, with permissions from the<br />
authors and publishers. Thus, full texts of these eBooks are already<br />
available on the Internet. Learn about the information that’s<br />
available when searching Google Books. It provides full<br />
bibliographic information, book reviews, pricing information from<br />
