With support from Lilly Endowment, Inc., the PALSave Textbook Creation Grants Program funds the creation of new OER textbooks. These resources become freely available on the web, reducing costs to students.
"PALNI made the publication process simple through the PressBooks platform. The OER community makes soliciting feedback easy, as those who use the materials are able to comment on them and provide public transparency to that feedback. Best of all, I have continued to edit my materials based on that feedback, so the text continues to become stronger and more effective with time."
PALNI and the Publishing Services Admin Team currently provide basic-level services for PALNI community publications, including project setup and platform hosting. We also provide limited platform support and discovery services. See our policies page for more details.
