Lakeshore is committed to making college as affordable as possible for students. We have a Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) program on campus where faculty eliminate textbook costs for their courses by offering open and free alternatives, such as Open Educational Resources (OER).
This brief (1:30) video from the Council of Chief State School officers explains the basics of searching for OER materials for your discipline. Or check out the more comprehensive training materials below.
At Lakeshore Library we are "OER Champion" certified and ready to help you tackle OER adoption in your classes! Just send us an email!
