Introduction
Academic institutions have long
recognized that student loan
debt is a complicated issue, and
many have recently taken steps to help
alleviate some of the financial pressures
experienced by their students. Open
educational resources (OER) quickly
became a topic of discussion at most institutions
of higher education when the
American Enterprise Institute (AEI)
reported in 2012 that the cost of textbooks
over the past 35 years had increased
812%. Using Bureau of Labor
Statistics and Census Bureau data, AEI
concluded “college textbooks [had] risen
more than three times the amount
of the average increase for all goods
and services” (Perry, 2012, p. 1). This
oft-quoted information was certainly
not lost on families already struggling
to meet the high cost of education, and
marked a turning point in the intensity
of those conversations (Perry, 2012).
This paper highlights the two
grant-funded projects the authors
spearheaded, and their impact and relationship
with the statewide OER initiative
focused on education, promotion,
and content development. Project 1:
OER Statewide Workshops involved an
OER workshop hosted by the Auburn
University at Montgomery Library in
collaboration with the Alabama Commission
on Higher Education (ACHE)
