[Openkpu] Missing subject areas in the Open Textbook Collection

Good morning! In an ongoing effort to sustain and build the [ https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/ | BC Open Textbook Collection ] , BCcampus asks for your help to identify subject areas within this collection that are missing open textbooks either entirely or in specific categories and/or course levels. As an overview, there are currently 180 textbooks in this collection covering eight main subject areas (Sciences, Trades, Business and Management, Liberal Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Upgrading Programs, Health Related, and Recreation, Tourism, Hospitality and Service). Within these eight areas are 36 secondary subject areas. For a summary of these subject areas and links to specific books, go to the [ https://open.bccampus.ca/open-textbook-stats/ | Open Textbook Stats ] page and click on the "Subjects" tab. We ask that you please send us suggestions for subject areas that are missing open textbooks, those subject areas where you have heard from faculty "I would adopt an open textbook, but there isn't one in my subject area". Additionally, it would be helpful to have the following information for each identified subject area. Textbook Subject 1. Subject 2. Course level 3. Specific topic with the subject (if applicable) We will be reviewing these suggestions as we publish a new call for proposals in the coming months- proposals for creation, adaptation, adoption of open textbooks- preferably with a targeted approach based on the needs of the system.
