The development of open-access textbooks and journals began at least 20 years ago. As textbook costs have become a barrier to education for many students, educators began shifting to open-access textbooks to mediate these costs. In addition, open-access journals allow students and faculty to access quality research materials without a subscription or added fee. I have organized a summarized list of textbooks, journals, and other open-access resources for educators to utilize in their classes. In addition, students can rely upon open-access journals for research options while completing their education.

PLEASE NOTE: the “Other Resources” tab contains materials that are not purely textbooks or journals. These resources can provide virtual labs or activities, case studies, lesson plans, or a combination of materials that also include textbooks and journals.
