Affordable Learning Ohio is OhioLINK's series of initiatives to lower the cost of college for Ohio higher education students by assisting our member libraries and campuses in identifying strategies for Open and Affordable Learning textbook and course material adoption, and helping locate statewide shareable library materials as well as open educational resources that are no cost or lower cost to students.
Search the OhioLINK Open Course Content Library for free and openly available course content.
Open Access textbooks are textbooks that have been funded, published, and licensed to be freely used, adapted, and distributed. If none of these textbooks are specifically assigned for your course, be sure to check with your professor first to see if you can use one of these as an alternative for your course.
These books have been reviewed by faculty from a variety of colleges and universities to assess their quality. These books can be downloaded for no cost, or printed at low cost. All textbooks are either used at multiple higher education institutions; or affiliated with an institution, scholarly society, or professional organization.
Electronic books available to Rio through OhioLINK.
