See the Inside Higher Ed article of June 11, 2010, titled Taming the Textbook Market, by Steven J. Bell, addressing the alternatives-to-textbooks movement and various issues and implications for institutions, faculty, and students. The comments submitted are also of interest.  (With thanks to John Moore of ChemEd DL for the heads-up on the article!)

Teaser Text:
