There are many stakeholders at BHC you might consult or inform regarding your adoption of an open textbook:
Search the repositories listed on the Find OER page. Or, ask a librarian for help.
Decide if the book matches your needs for content, presentation, online accessibility, production options, platform compatibility, delivery options, interactivity, consistency between online and printed versions, and available support material.
One of the benefits of open textbooks is flexibility to modify and customize them for specific courses as much or as little as you desire. If you want to make edits or add content, make sure the licensing allows that. Different repositories will have different options for editing and publishing revised copies.
Select the best format to distribute to your class: online, downloadable PDF, ePub, or print-on-demand via either your campus bookstore or from the online repository.
