A good news for OER from the website of Assistant Senate Majority Leader (USA) Dick Durbin :
"Assistant Senate Majority Leader (USA) Dick Durbin(D-IL) today introduced legislation designed to help students manage costs by making textbooks available to students, professors and the public for free on an easily-accessible website.
