UNCG instructors, are you concerned about the high price of textbooks and online codes for your classes?

In Spring 2015, apply for an Open Education stipend. You could win $1,000 for adopting open educational resources! See the Campus Weekly story: http://ure.uncg.edu/prod/cweekly/2014/11/04/education-initiative-stipend

As always, feel free to contact your friendly liaison librarian for help identifying course materials.  Open education, online available through our library, or other kinds of materials.

"Incentives offered by top journals distort science"

This statement from a Nobel prize winner was so juicy, I couldn't resist linking: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/dec/09/how-journals-nature-science-cell-damage-science

I've heard similar points made by science faculty here during literature searching workshops, as the faculty help orient students to the realities of publication bias.
