Orange Coast College students can come here to view assigned textbooks that are free for their use. Not all textbooks are available through this site - only those designated as "free" or "OER" or "library resources" can be found here. If your books are not listed here, please visit the bookstore or OCC Library Course Reserve for the correct textbook.
Please Note: Library resources require a login - access is restricted to current OCC students and employees. Many library ebooks have restrictions on how many students can access a book at one time. These limits are noted beside each book. If all copies are being used, try to access the book again at a later time. All other books are Open Educational Resources. These books are free to everyone and Creative Commons licensed.
