Our Commitment to Textbook Affordability
New York Tech Libraries are an essential partner in the university’s educational and research mission and actively support the student learning experience. One of the ways we do this is through promoting and assisting faculty with the adoption of low and no-cost course materials like Open Educational Resources (OER) and library eBooks.
Faculty interested in lowering student costs can work with librarians to locate high-quality course materials.
