  • (Sample OTN psychology textbook and its reviews are here, for your reference: https://tinyurl.com/openpsychtextbook)
• Each reviewer will receive a $200 stipend upon completion of the review, funded by Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC)
• Reviews will be published on the Open Textbook Library website, where it can help other faculty who are adopting open textbooks across the globe.
