The Wise OSU Library Open Textbook Initiative
The Wise OSU Libraries’ Open Textbook Initiative was made possible through a generous initial funding from Dr. James Wise. The high cost of textbooks is a major concern for OSU students and their parents. The goal of the Wise OSU Libraries’ Open Textbook Initiative was to encourage faculty to consider open textbooks for adoption in their classroom, and we are pleased to report that the initiative has been completed, with a total of 7 faculty participating.
