About Open Textbook Library

The Open Textbook Library is a growing collection of electronic textbooks covering many academic subject areas, including Business, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, World Languages, and Social Sciences. The purpose of the Open Textbook Library is to provide free access to textbooks and to reduce student expenditures. All textbooks are complete, have open copyright licenses, and are freely available to faculty and students. Many of the textbooks have been reviewed by faculty from other institutions of higher education.

Faculty members are welcome to visit the Open Textbook Library website to evaluate and consider using these resources for their classes at Southeastern. A corresponding list of Open Textbook Library Catalog Records, provided by the Louisiana Library Network (LOUIS), is also available.

The Louisiana Board of Regents sponsored conferences dedicated to innovative eLearning, which covered the use of Open Textbooks and Open Educational Resources. LOUIS continues to promote these open resources with its Affordable Learning LOUISiana initiative.

Sims Library will update faculty about Affordable Learning LOUISiana open resources as these become available.
