Tóm tắt
Providing financial incentives to faculty who adopt free educational resources in place of traditional textbooks is becoming more common in U.S. higher education institutions. The University of Mississippi (UM) offered liberal arts instructors the opportunity to apply for internal funding to replace one traditional textbook in their classroom with a free-to-student resource. The researcher used a survey to capture instructors' perceptions of free educational resources while preparing their new syllabus. Results from the survey are summarized and their implications for the local library and libraries at large are discussed. © 2016, Published with license by Taylor & Francis © Brian Young.
