Triton celebrates $1 million in student savings through Low Cost/No Cost Textbook initiative - Stephen Butera, Daily Herald

Triton College marked a monumental milestone this semester, as its innovative Low Cost/No Cost Textbook Alternatives Program crossed the threshold of saving students $1 million on textbooks and course materials. The program launched in 2013 with support from a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. The goal of the initiative is to better prepare students for success by providing access to high quality textbooks and learning materials, accessible through the Triton College Library. The growing collection includes open source textbooks and other resources including relevant, current articles from databases for faculty to include in course materials. https://www.dailyherald.com/submitted/20190220/triton-celebrates-1-million-in-student-savings-through-low-costno-cost-textbook-initiative
