Open and Affordable Course Content

VCU Libraries' Open and Affordable Course Content Initiative supports instructors as they work to transition their courses to zero textbook cost courses, using either open educational resources or library content.

Initiative Impact

Since the start of the Open and Affordable Course Content Initiative in 2017, VCU Libraries has supported the creation of original open educational resources, customization of existing resources, and the use of library-owned content to help students avoid burdensome textbook costs.

Published resources

Resources created by VCU faculty are available on a number of platforms and in different formats. You can find OER in VCU Libraries’ Pressbooks catalog and in Scholars Compass.
