How can you make the course materials available low-cost / no-cost to your students? *Our recommendations to get your started are listed below. 

Immediate:

• use textbooks within subscription databases you have institutional access to, or open-access textbooks. UNM Law faculty have institutional access to casebooks and other materials in West Academic Study Aids and Aspen Study Aids as well as via the Center for Computer Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI). Interested in accessing these Study Aid databases and CALI? Contact the Law Library, we'll help you register, or, in the instance of CALI, point you to information on how to seamlessly register and access.

**Long term: 

• Retain copyright ownership of your work, when possible.
• Publish your materials in an Information Repository or Creative Commons that makes materials available at licensing levels you determine.
• When you publish an article in a journal, encourage the editors to make the journal's material available without permission for educational use.
• Create open-access digital textbooks that are freely accessible for your students. 

Open-access textbook databases:

H20 Open Casebooks: H2O helps law faculty create and have access to high quality, open-licensed digital textbooks for free.

Libretexts: The freely-available textbooks within the Libretext database "are part of a huge network that provides not just single textbooks, but an infinitely large library through which new texts can be developed & shared."

*Whenever we speak of accessibility in this Guide, we're limiting our discussion to reducing or eliminating students' financial costs related to textbook purchases. For a discussion of accessibility relating to abilities and disabilities, please refer to the UNM Center for Teaching and Learning's site here.
