OER Resources [scroll to the end]

What does a zero cost/ZTC (zero textbook cost) designation mean?

The definition of a zero-cost resource is that students do not incur any cost for purchasing it—rather than zero-cost to its creators or the libraries that obtain and maintain it. While the College Now students are enrolled in their courses, they can use any resource provided by the York College Library, including a large number of databases that cover academic and general-interest articles, as well as resources such as LinkedIn Learning [Source: CTLET / York College Library].
