#Freethetextbook helps students get free textbooks - Janelle James, the Signal

 College in the U.S. can be one of the most expensive decisions in a person’s lifetime. On top of tuition, universities force students to pay high prices each semester for textbooks, and that price is only increasing. #Freethetextbook is a movement that aims to make textbooks free for college students. This hashtag, created by the non-profit OpenStax, calls for free books for college students and cheaper alternatives to physical copies.  OpenStax’s managing director, Daniel Williamson, talked about its success with providing students access to free textbooks.
