According to Hendricks, SIUE staff was able to box up, move, unbox and organize all of the moved textbooks in just a little under two weeks time. While this move is only reported to be a temporary fix, Hendricks said that some alternative textbook options may be on the current radar. “Our team has been on several committees that have been talking about OER” Hendricks said. Hendricks said OER, or Open Educational Resources, is a tool that faculty can use to source free resources for classes. The biggest appeal of this program is that students would have access to source materials almost anywhere with internet access.
