Hello,
Wondering where to start with open textbook publishing? Pub101 is here!
About Pub101
Pub101 is a free, informal, online orientation to open textbook publishing for Open Textbook Network members. Together we'll explore Units 1-5 in the Publishing Curriculum <https://canvas.umn.edu/courses/106630>, which includes adaptable resources and templates. You’ll hear from colleagues who have worked on open textbook publishing projects and about what they’ve learned.

Comments from previous Pub101 participants:

- guest speakers... had much in advice and tips not just "here is what our program looks like" or "this is what accessibility is"
