About the Publisher

This book is published by Open Oregon Educational Resources. It is part of our Targeted Pathways project, which uses statewide data to target disciplines and courses in which to develop high-quality, openly-licensed materials with an equity lens.

Targeted Pathways textbooks are developed in partnership with Chemeketa Press, which offers training in textbook development best practices and coaching to faculty authors. Chemeketa Press is the academic publishing arm of Chemeketa Community College in Salem, Oregon.

The contents of this book were partially developed under a grant from the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief fund and a grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, (FIPSE), U.S. Department of Education. However, those contents do not necessarily represent the policy of the Department of Education, and you should not assume endorsement by the Federal Government. It is also supported by funding from Oregon’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission.
