ASERL Friends:

Happy Monday!  On November 10, we will offer a webinar describing the work of 
the Open textbook Network.  The Open Textbook Network (OTN) is coordinated by 
the University of Minnesota's College of Education and Human Development.  OTN 
a promotes access, affordability, and student success through the use of open 
textbooks via the Open Textbook Library, the premiere resource for 
peer-reviewed academic textbooks. All of OTN textbooks are free, openly 
licensed, and complete; their adoption creates a measurable, positive impact on 
student success.  With their members, OTN seeks to move the open education 
conversation forward on local and national levels.  More than 200 colleges and 
universities participate, providing millions in savings to students.  

The following week -- November 17 -- we will offer a webinar about the 
statewide affordable textbooks effort in Georgia.  "Affordable Learning 
Georgia" began in 2014 after the Georgia legislature funded an initiative 
within the University System of Georgia (USG) to reduce the cost of textbooks 
to USG students. The USG reached out to Georgia’s Virtual Library, GALILEO, to 
lead the program.  This library-driven initiative has saved students an 
estimated $16.5 million in textbook costs in Academic Years 2015-2016 through 
promoting the use of open educational resources (OER), no-cost materials, and 
library-subscribed materials through its Textbook Transformation Grants program 
and a partnership with eCore, Georgia’s Core Curriculum Online.   In this 
webinar, Jeff Gallant, Program Manager of Affordable Learning Georgia, will 
discuss the planning involved in the creation of the program, how librarians 
have advocated for the use of affordable materials on each campus, and the 
initiative’s current and future plans to further college affordability and 
student success. He will also share advice and lessons learned for libraries 
looking to start similar initiatives within their institutions.
