The WKU Libraries' Affordable Textbook Program awards individual faculty members incentive grants for adopting a free or library-licensed textbook alternative. The goal of the Affordable Textbook Initiative is to make course materials available at no or low cost to WKU students by incentivizing faculty adoption of library-licensed or Open Educational Resources in place of traditional textbooks.
