Online textbooks: SUNY's new chapter - James Goodman, SUNY

When Natalie Sarrazin teaches her course about music and the child at The College at Brockport in the fall, she plans to save her students some money by using an online textbook she is now writing. Sarrazin, who is an associate professor of music, is one of the faculty members at State University of New York colleges who are participating in the Open SUNY Textbook project — an initiative to have faculty members write 15 online textbooks, which students or anyone else can use free of charge. In Sarrazin’s case, she expects her textbook to be used for her course instead of a hardcover one that sells for $220. http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20130225/NEWS10/302250011/Online-textbooks-SUNY-s-new-chapter?nclick_check=1
