Lauri and all at BC Campus,
I just took a look at the new Philosophy text. Wow. Your versions and access to editable
sources is amazing. Thank you for tour continual improvement and challenges to the status
quo. You all are providing tremendous service to OER.
Thank you!!

Hello Everyone,
We've added two new books and one new ancillary resource, as well as, a few updates.

Students<https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=8af49997-4d25-43fe-b6fa-8ab09f3ca64f&contributor=&keyword=&subject=>
This new textbook, published by the Rebus Community, is designed for students in
graduate-level nursing and education programs. Its intent is to recognize the significant
role the literature review plays in the research process and to prepare students for the
work that goes into writing one.
