Just like with traditional publisher textbooks, there is a process of resource adoption and communication that must occur at WHCL whenever you decide to change or update your required course materials. You will want to make sure both your learning area and department are aware that you'd like to adopt an OER and then you will need to go through the process illustrated in this OER adoption flow chart (Link to PDF on other page). The adoption process will have you working closely with the library who will inform the bookstore of your change, but always double check that the required course materials are listed correctly on the bookstore's website.
