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.

We have a LibGuide with more resources on Events, Creative Commons Licenses, resources to help you find OER, training videos, grant information, and more!

Textbook Affordability Team (TAT)

Our mission is to facilitate adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) and MHCC Library Resources as curricular options for faculty to significantly reduce textbook costs to MHCC students. Click here to learn more!

What is OER?

Open Educational Resources are course materials with specialized copyright licenses that allow us to retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute them without breaking copyright law or jeopardizing intellectual property. Click here to learn more!

Course Section Reporting Form & FAQ

Faculty use this form to report their course sections for purposes of HB2871 designations, OER, and textbook cost savings.

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.

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.

Faculty Support

There are many services across campus ready and willing to support MHCC faculty who want to implement textbook affordability measures. Click here to learn more!
