1000 Professors sign statement of intent to use open textbooks

Nicole Allen over at Make Textbooks Affordable has been doing some great work lately. The most recent example: she's enlisted the support of over 1000 faculty members at schools around the country who have signed a statement of intent to use affordable textbooks, including open textbooks, whenever they have a choice.

Read the press release here.

Read the statement and see the list of faculty members (including Prof. Marty Ross, who taught my field geology course at NU) here.
