In this UTSA Libraries & UTSA Academic Innovation sponsored panel, hear perspectives on open educational resources (OER) from a variety of UTSA stakeholders.

SGA and UTSA Libraries and Museums Tabling Event
UTSA Libraries and Museums will be partnering with SGA to build awareness to the student body about Free and Low-Cost Textbooks, what they are, and where to find classes that use these textbooks when they register for classes.
