which is co-sponsored by the Office of the Provost and University Senate, would like your assistance in distributing a survey to faculty with teaching responsibilities. We are hoping to learn more about how faculty at UO find and select course materials, including
what factors go into their decision making process. We also hope to measure their awareness and perception of open educational resources (OERs). Faculty responses to this survey will help inform a Textbook Affordability Strategic Plan for UO, as required by <a href="https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2019R1/Downloads/MeasureDocument/HB2213/Enrolled" target="_parent"><span style="color:#00006A">Oregon
