Library Reports and Communication
The University Academic Senate charged the OER/ACM Task Force to:
- Explore current GVSU practices involving course material decisions.
- Recommend strategies to recognize existing OER/ACM use by GVSU faculty.
- Recommend strategies to increase use of existing OER/ACM services and support.
- Recommend new initiatives or support to increase OER/ACM adoption by GVSU faculty.
This report fulfills these charges, providing information on the context of textbook usage at GVSU and delivering recommendations and possibilities for expanded OER/ACM support.

Open textbooks are full, real textbooks, used by many faculty across the country, and licensed to be freely used, edited, and distributed. After the workshop, participants will be invited to write a short review of an open textbook they might assign in a course (please note: open textbooks …
