The Chronicle is reporting:

A new Web site, Open Educational Resources Center for California, brings together information on free and open textbooks and course materials in one location. Though the Web site was designed for California’s community-college faculty members, it could be a useful resource for anyone trying to find learning materials in the public domain.

California Assembly Bill 2261, which was signed into law in the fall of 2008, authorized the center as a statewide pilot program for California’s 112 community colleges “to provide faculty and staff from community-college districts around the state with the information, methods, and instructional materials to establish open education resource centers.” The center is managed by Foothill College, in Los Altos Hills, Calif.

I’ve looked over the site, and I’m impressed with all the sources of information it links to. This one is definitely worth bookmarking.
