Versioning History
How to use this page
Solicit feedback about your book by providing contact information; you might also consider developing a survey form (e.g. Google Forms, Qualtrics, etc.) for users of your book.
A challenge of open education resources is tracking versions. Because open textbooks are open for adaption, changes are made gradually over time.
- Delete this text box and the attribution text box at the bottom of the page.
- Add contact information in the designated place below.
- Use the chart below to track when changes are made to your book so that people can properly cite which version of the book they were using when they adopted or adapted it. Track substantial changes by adding 0.1 on the end of the version number; track transformative changes by adding 1.0 to the version number (resetting the decimal number to .0).
- Optional: If you want to provide access to the older versions of the text, export and download a PDF copy of the book before you make changes to it. You can provide links to the PDFs on this page so that users can download them.
We are always seeking to improve our open textbooks. Please submit your suggestions, recommendations, and/or corrections at [URL].
