A brief description of the incentives to encourage the authorship, peer review, and/or adoption of open access textbooks:
The CSU enables the program with grant funding distributions to the CSU campuses so that they may implement projects to raise the awareness of low- and no-cost course materials and support the discovery and adoption of them. These savings metrics are compiled from a combination of faculty using library databases, discounted bookstore materials and programs, online homework websites and open educational resources.
