Hi All,
KPU Open Education and the Library and happy to announce that Sarah Murray’s Introduction to Psychology Study Guide has been reviewed and posted to the BCCampus Open Textbook Library. This is a welcome addition of material.
Sarah had recently completed the guide during an Education Leave and then partnered with the Library to move the final version of the text from Word, to a web ready Pressbook, complete with inline images, videos and interactive study questions. Converting the book was done as a proof of concept for library publishing and several library employees (Paula Pinter, Lisa Hubick, Yasmin Jamal, Caroline Daniels) rallied to pull the project together. The experience of publishing a complete monograph was invaluable to improving workflow that will allow the Library to continue the program.
Congratulations Sarah!
Todd Mundle, University Librarian

Hi Sarah,
The review went quicker than expected. I am happy to announce that we would be pleased to post your study guide. Because it accompanies the textbook Introduction to Psychology 1st Canadian Edition, I will be posting it alongside that book in the open textbook collection.
Best,
Josie
