Time to put your fingerprint on your future! Learn about new opportunities with a Chemistry & Molecular Technology degree

Rutgers University Libraries have recently concluded the seventh year of the Open and Affordable Textbooks (OAT) Program and we are delighted to report that the 2023 awards will lower textbook costs for an estimated 3,276 Rutgers students and provide an estimated savings of $257,621. This means that the OAT Program has, in its first eight years, saved an estimated 44,954 students over $6.5 million!



This year we are delighted to congratulate the following Camden faculty on receiving OAT awards.



Craig Agule – Philosophy & Religion

Georgia Arbuckle-Keil – Chemistry

Paula Carabell – Visual and Performing Arts

Brian Corbett – Biology

Noha Emara – Economics

Sara Leshen-Gross – Mathematical Sciences

Greg Sayler – Philosophy & Religion

Jillian Sayre – English

Trish Suplee – Nursing



Collectively, their projects will reduce textbook costs for an estimated 529 students, saving approximately $71,746. These projects also bring the total saved in Camden to approximately $980,000 since the program’s inception.



Additionally, in 2021 OAT established an Authorship Award. Recipients will develop, create, and write a completely new Open Educational Resource (OER) textbook, along with any relevant supplemental materials. Open textbooks are licensed by authors and publishers to be freely used and adapted. They may be downloaded, edited, and distributed at no cost. Awardees will make their textbook free to use with a Creative Commons license and will provide access to it through an open repository, such as Rutgers SOAR. During this cycle, one Camden faculty received this award.



Rachel Derr – Nursing
