Textbook Information: Guess what? No textbook. :-)
Why?
This course uses digital course materials designed using Open Educational Resources (Links to an external site.) (OER), high-quality, openly licensed educational materials, rather than a traditional textbook. You can access all readings, videos, quizzes and other activities while in the LIBI 100 Course.
Our course materials were created and assembled by Jaki King and Annie Knight and funded by the Achieving the Dream OER Degree Initiative. Santa Ana College is committed to student access and excellence. You will not have any additional cost for textbooks. Extra care and effort was involved to assure access to high-quality affordable materials. I am interested in your experience using these materials and welcome your feedback in an anonymous survey at the end of the course and at any time during the course of this class.
