Open Educational Resources
Students can't learn from textbooks they can't afford. Open Educational Resources (OER) are free alternatives to expensive textbooks. Runaway textbook costs on college campuses have become a major impediment to student success. See what UAS faculty and students are doing to address textbook affordability.

Featured Programs & Services
One Campus, One Book
This academic year, Pollution is Colonialism by Max Liboiron will serve as an entry point for discussions about challenging and changing science through anticolonial methodologies, good relations and inclusive practices.
"Research and change-making, scientific or otherwise, are always caught up in the contradictions, injustices, and structures that already exist, that we have already identified as violent and in need of change. This text is about moving within this complex and compromised terrain." -Max Liboiron
