<div dir="ltr">Hello All, <div>Colleen Sanders has done some great research on bookstore contracts and OER over the last couple of years. When I was in Oregon (until 2021) we were having many conversations about equity, OER and access to materials in relation to the bookstores. This is not to pick on any one vendor or process. It is great research though.</div><div><br></div><div>Article in Oregon Library Association Quarterly by Colleen Sanders: <a href="https://journals3.library.oregonstate.edu/olaq/article/view/vol24_iss3_7">https://journals3.library.oregonstate.edu/olaq/article/view/vol24_iss3_7</a></div><div>Presentation by Coleen and Meggie Wright for Open Oregon: <a href="https://openoregon.org/archived-webinar-not-an-open-book-the-outsourcing-of-oregons-community-college-bookstores/">https://openoregon.org/archived-webinar-not-an-open-book-the-outsourcing-of-oregons-community-college-bookstores/</a> </div><div>There are a lot of great resources linked in that presentation.
