Abstract
In Spring 2018, the LaGuardia Community College Library department was awarded a New York State grant to train students to evaluate textbooks. LaGuardia is an urban community college in Queens, New York, and is part of the City University of New York (CUNY). Textbooks—and their high cost—have become an important issue in American higher education. Many schools, systems (including CUNY), and (as in this case study) states provide financial support for the creation of open education resources (OER), with the goal of decreasing the financial burden on students
Themes: Descriptive, OER
