Students saving on books at HCCC - Edward Harris, Utica Observer-Dispatch

Officials at Herkimer County Community College estimate that students have saved close to $1 million over the last three years thanks to open educational resources. Open educational resources include items that are in the public domain, including textbooks, articles, videos and more. The items are free but can cost money if the items are printed. These items replace the traditional books students would purchase at the college bookstore. “This really enhances student success,” said Bill Pelz, a professor at HCCC. http://www.uticaod.com/news/20180703/students-saving-on-books-at-hccc/1
