Over the past decade there has been a lot of discussion about the rising cost of textbooks in higher education, which has resulted in an increased interest in electronic textbooks and digital coursework. When classes moved to a virtual environment in 2020, due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, many campuses needed to quickly provide students with alternatives to traditional print texts and course materials. This scenario resulted in many challenges for faculty, course management administrators, librarians, and campus IT to provide students with access to online and electronic resources. This session will examine the need for affordable and accessible materials and provide a basic overview of textbook options including open education resources (OERs), inclusive access resources, course access codes, and more. In addition, there will be discussion about the benefits and challenges these formats provide students, faculty, and information professionals. [For the full proceedings, see ED622414.]
