Open Textbooks and Textbook Affordability
Addressing textbook costs and ways to reduce these costs have been an ongoing focus for the MnSCU office, campuses, and students. This year, a series of efforts focused on increasing the awareness and use of Open Textbooks across MnSCU will be initiated. During the upcoming months, we will be seeking input and participation on a number of these efforts, so stay tuned!
