Faculty: Are You Using Open Textbooks?

Posted April 6, 2026 in JMU Libraries News, Open Education News

If you’re using open textbooks, please fill out this short survey to let us know! We want to hear about the open textbooks or open course materials you’re using, even if your course also requires some textbooks that cost money. The survey is open until May 1, 2026.

Whether or not you’re using open textbooks, you’re invited to apply for our Get Started Using Open Textbooks workshop between May 18 – August 9, 2026. After completing this asynchronous online workshop, you’ll be eligible to write a review of an open textbook and receive a $200 stipend. 

Questions? Please contact Liz Thompson, our Open Education Librarian.
