Has the cost of text books kept you from enrolling in courses? SLCC's Open Educational Resources Department (OER) works hard to make the cost of text books more affordable and in some cases, free. Throughout March and April they are celebrating eight years of working towards cost effective alternatives to traditional text books. Visit the SLCC OER site to learn more about their efforts, to see how much they have saved students over the years, and to find ways to make your college experience more affordable.
