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.
