Riccardo, you might list WikiFM at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_textbook Google found quite a few good collections you could link to: https://openstaxcollege.org/books - "FREE. OPEN-SOURCE. PEER-REVIEWED. HIGH-QUALITY TEXTBOOKS FOR YOUR COLLEGE COURSE." https://www.boundless.com/open-textbooks/ - Boundless is pleased to offer open introductory textbooks, published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license. http://creativecommons.org/tag/open-textbooks http://studentpirgs.org/open-textbooks - Open textbooks are high-quality college texts with an "open" copyright license allowing the material to be freely accessed, shared and adapted. https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/ - Open Textbook Library: As an instructor, you want your students to have the best textbooks possible. Unfortunately, not all students can afford the high cost of traditional textbooks. You can change that! http://oerconsortium.org/discipline-specific/ - Find open and free textbooks that may be suitable for use in community college courses from the list of Subjects provided. For descriptions of these open textbooks, see listings in MERLOT and OER Commons. Most of the textbooks on this list have Creative Commons (CC) open licenses or GNU-Free Document License. Others are U.S. government documents in the public domain (PD). http://collegeopentextbooks.org/ - Funded by an eminent group of generous sponsors*, College Open Textbooks (COT) is a project of the Silicon Valley Education Foundation and the Open Doors Group. The COT Collaborative is collection of colleges, governmental agencies, education non-profits, and other education-related organizations that are focused on the mission of driving awareness, adoptions**, and affordability of open textbooks. Our focus is on community colleges and other 2-year institutions of higher education and the first two years (lower division) of 4-year institutions. Some of our activities also apply to K-12, upper division, graduate school, and life-long learning. Such an excellent idea!
