    And they find them in spades, thanks in large part to the effect the internet has had on aggregating supply and making it visible and available to students. They find used books in increasing numbers as large used book wholesales become more efficient at distribution. They find international editions making their way back from low priced markets in Asia and the Middle East to high-priced North American markets. And as they did with music, students have used the power of the web to create peer-to-peer trading networks across the country.

      Organize Faculty
      • As faculty members, we affirm that it is our prerogative and responsibility to select course materials that are pedagogically most appropriate for our classes. We also affirm that it is consistent with this principle to seek affordable course materials for our classes whenever possible. This includes open textbooks, which are textbooks offered online to students at no cost.
      • Open textbooks and other open educational resources present an affordable, comparable and flexible alternative to commercial course materials. Therefore, we the undersigned declare our intent to:
      • Seek and consider open textbooks and other open educational resources when choosing course materials.
      • Give preference to a low or no cost educational resource such as an open textbook over an expensive textbook if it best fits the needs of a class.
      • Encourage institutions to develop support for the use of open textbooks and other open educational resources.
