Notes

See tabs to the right for key suggestions of places to search for open educational resources: textbooks, media, lectures, and a host of other options.  Please email with suggestions or edits, keeping in mind that the rapid growth of OER means the list can never be complete.

Faculty are also using library e-books and articles as texts and learning resources in their classes.  For a complete list, see http://library.csueastbay.edu/usingthelibraries/ebook-textbooks
