OER for Graphic Arts

OER textbooks have been curated by COM librarians in this handy, one stop guide. We hope to make it easier for faculty to find a possible fit for their course and help address equity on campus. Textbooks were chosen with care for relevance and accessibility but quality varies.

• Is the eBook available in multiple formats?
• Does the eBook have content that requires active Internet access? 
• Can the student get a print version if desired? Is the cost reasonable? The length of the text may be a factor for cost.
• Can the student highlight and take notes in an available format? 
• Can the textbook be adapted?
• If it's a library eBook, does it have unlimited use? Can it be downloaded? Does the library own it or get it through a subscription? It it's a subscription our access might go away, check with the library. 

COM Library supports affordable textbooks and we can help you make the transition.
