UCF updates procedures for minimizing textbook costs Ralph Linardic, Nicholson Student Media

UCF Libraries' established Textbook Affordability Program, in partnership with UCF's Affordable Instructional Materials Initiative, offers support to students in three ways: print textbook reserves, open educational resources and library-sourced e-books. Library-sourced materials and open educational resources are available for free to students, and there is a textbook affordability librarian whose job it is to help faculty adopt these free resources for students, Schlueb said via email. UCF's eTextbook Portal is another resource where anyone can locate e-books and open educational resources used for courses.
