Instructors have many options when it comes to choosing their course materials. Some may choose to use open educational resources (OER), which are freely accessible, openly licensed texts, media, and other digital assets that are useful for teaching, learning, and research. In addition to, or instead of OER, instructors might use a variety of materials in their courses, including materials that they have authored, that are available via library resources, etc. In any case, the courses listed here are those that do not require students to purchase a traditional print textbook.
When searching for courses using Pitt CC's online course catalog, sections that utilize low or no cost course materials are indicated with an icon (line drawing of an open book superimposed with a dollar sign and slash).
*Please note that some courses may require additional lab fees.
**If a course text has an extremely low cost, we may list that here as well.
If you see anything that needs to be corrected, please contact Angela Davis, PCC Library, at asdavis688@my.pittcc.edu. Thank you!
