Open Access Archaeology Textbook - Episode 39
b"Why do textbooks cost so much? Part of the reason is that for one person to do\\nit they need to be compensated. Another reason is that books are big, have lots\\nof color pages, and are expensive to produce. That's why this Open Textbook idea\\nis interesting. Today we talk to Katie Kirakosian - a professor at UMASS that is\\nleading a team that is making a North American Archaeology textbook that will be\\nfree to download and use for everyone! It's a very interesting idea and we\\nexplore a lot of topics surrounding open access on this episode."
