Many professors are developing their own textbooks for use in their courses, and institutional repositories make the perfect publishing venue for these valuable resources.  Charlie, a professor in the Department of Writing and editor of two OA texts, will discuss the process of creating an OA textbook and using it in his teaching, while Sarah will discuss the services the IR offers for these and other original OA texbooks by GVSU faculty.
