Textbook Affordability

MHCC is committed to reducing the cost of textbooks as much as possible, through the adoption of Open Educational Resources and integrating Library resources to replace course materials students would otherwise have to pay for. Explore here to learn all about the various initiatives the Textbook Affordability Team is working on to support faculty and students as they bring about this change.

Textbook Affordability Team (TAT)

Statewide Initiatives

There are many regional OER initiatives happening throughout Oregon, including grant programs, mandatory course labeling, and email listservs to sign up for.

Student Success

By offering MHCC students affordable textbook solutions, we will remove a major obstacle to student success. Unaffordability of higher education is one of the biggest obstacles to students accessing, persisting, and completing their college education.

Copyright and Licensing

Copyright law can be daunting but we have resources and librarians to help you understand the basics of the 5R’s, Attribution statements, and choose the best open license for your work.

Grants and Stipends

There are a growing number of OER grant programs regionally and nationally, as well as opportunities to peer review new OER texts in exchange for a stipend.
