From Rice University - "Our textbooks are being used in 48% of college and universities in the U.S. and over 100 countries, but there’s still room to grow. Alongside our efforts to expand our library, we have been taking steps toward improving student learning and advancing research in learning science. Access is just the beginning – we want to make educational tools better for a new generation of learners."
These books have been reviewed by faculty from a variety of colleges and universities to assess their quality. These books can be downloaded for no cost, or printed at low cost. All textbooks are either used at multiple higher education institutions; or affiliated with an institution, scholarly society, or professional organization. The library currently includes 670 textbooks, with more being added all the time.
Open access to 1,619,519 e-prints in the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics from Cornell University.
Over 93,000 learning materials available. The MERLOT project began in 1997, when the California State University Center for Distributed Learning (CSU-CDL at www.cdl.edu) developed and provided free access to MERLOT (www.merlot.org).
