As part of Open Education Week, print editions of OpenStax textbooks are on display (through the end of March) near the South Reading Room on the first floor of Fondren Library.
As a leading publisher of open textbooks, OpenStax provides free, peer-reviewed, openly licensed textbooks for college and Advanced Placement courses. OpenStax textbooks cover commonly taught college courses such as calculus, statistics, physics, economics and psychology. Since 2012, over 3.5 million students have used OpenStax resources, saving more than $155 million. According to a 2017 survey, faculty are as satisfied with OpenStax textbooks as they are with commercial textbooks.
You are encouraged to browse the books on display or check out OpenStax’s textbooks online at http://openstaxcollege.org/books as well as Fondren Library’s open educational resources guide at http://libguides.rice.edu/OER
