For those of you that would like to see what is happening at other institutions, here is a UBC Open snapshot. Here's a few stats as a teaser .... Since 2011, at least 155 UBC courses have been identified as having used open textbooks, OERs, or freely accessible resources instead of traditional textbooks. And if we look across those past six years, 47,423 UBC students were enrolled in those courses using open resources. The estimated cost savings for students has also increased over the past few years. The replacement of traditional textbooks with open resources has potentially saved UBC students between $4.7 to $6.7 million since 2011 Full report at: https://open.ubc.ca/open-ubc-snapshot-use-of-open-resources-continues-to-in… [cid:image001.gif@01D38F8D.F1EEDC00] Caroline Daniels, MLS Systems, Web and Interlibrary Loan Librarian Kwantlen Polytechnic University t 604.599.3036 f 604.599.2532 e caroline.daniels@kpu.ca<mailto:firstname.lastname@kpu.ca> www.kpu.ca<http://www.kpu.ca/> This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.
