The Thrifty Fifty Online Textbooks

Governor Brown signed twin bills that create a mechanism for producing and distributing free online textbooks for what are described as fifty lower-division core courses at UC and CSU in cooperation with the community colleges.

Exactly how these texts are going to be produced (for no royalties, if I read the new laws correctly) remains to be seen.  There do seem to be some mechanisms for payment for supplying such texts but, again, details are not clear.

The twin bills are at:

    Also, it could only require a little over three years to complete.
    The precise assortment of hrs might be distinctive basically by neighborhood laws and regulations
    and the studying institution. Insurance companies also demand certification and in that
    case the individual is considered disqualified from engaging in clinical
    practice if not certified.
