SACRAMENTO – Only a signature away, Governor Jerry Brown will have an
opportunity to lower the cost of college textbooks by creating the
nation’s first free open source digital library for college students and
faculty.
Friday, the California State Senate unanimously passed the first of its
kind open educational resource digital library, or (OER), offering
students free access to textbooks in the most commonly taken
lower-division courses at public postsecondary institutions.
