Students can search, browse, evaluate and discuss over 30,000 high-quality open education resources – including textbooks on a variety of subjects. To test the site, we undertook a quick search for resources related to studying Economics. We were impressed to find a free introductory economics textbook from The California Institute of Technology. There are many more books and resources available including free books on accountancy, marketing and much more.

WikiVersity is a Wikimedia Foundation project devoted to developing free educational resources. WikiVersity invites teachers, students, and researchers to create educational resources and to come together and collaborate on educational projects.
