dc.description.abstractThe skyrocketing cost of textbooks poses practical and theoretical questions for an era of unprecedented information freedom.

In an age of tablet computing, should we be using physical textbooks at all? The undergraduate student roundtable tackles these questions and more about open access and open educational resources.
