Hello,

My name is Linda Nowakowski. I am an American but have been living in Thailand for most of the last 10 years. I am currently teaching in a BBA (Bachelor's of Business Administration) International program at Ubon Ratchathani University. In that position, I have also faced the problem of finding affordable textbooks in English which is why I am most interested in possible solutions to this problem.

I have been able to find sources of a number of books and materials that are available free on the web and have already done some downloading, reformatting (to maximize words per page and minimize paper usage and printing costs), printing and binding. I can do a book like that for a bit over .6 cents per page which makes it immanently more affordable than the copyrighted, published books.

I do have a Uganda connection as my PhD research will be in northern Uganda in the Amaru district working with Opok Farms.

Looking forward to working on this project.
