Does TCC have access to Pressbooks to make my OER as an instructor?
I'm faculty and would like to use Pressbooks to publish the OER content I want my students to use. How do I create my account?
Answer
The TCC Library has Pressbooks!
Many of you have already seen the Academic Integrity OER textbook made on the Pressbooks Platform. Learn more about Pressbooks at TCC and get your account with the new textbook (how you request your account is within the first section): Getting Started with Pressbooks at TCC.
