A bit of a disclaimer. There’s lots of good stuff on this site but so far, I haven’t found and specifically Creative Commons, GFDL or otherwise ‘open’ materials but i’m sure there’s some kicking around. Most of the content does seem to be free to use however so i’m including it as a good reference for students and educators.

Textbook Revolution includes lots of subtopics like Biology, Business & Management, Chemistry, Computers-Tech, Earth Science, Economics, Health Sciences & Medical, Math and Physics. The site creator’s rationale is also totally in line with why we need open resources. They also have an RSS feed if you want to keep track of additions to the site.

In response to the textbook industry’s constant drive to maximize profits instead of educational value, I have started this collection of the existing free textbooks and educational tools available online. This website has several reasons for being:

• To serve as a catalog of resources for students and teachers looking for free textbooks (one-stop shopping)
• To act as a mirror for files. Mirrors help reduce bandwidth costs and prevent files from disappearing if a website goes out of business.
• To promote the need for and availability of free textbooks.
