<b>Subject:</b> Pressbooks Update for College Administrators</span>

<div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear Pressbooks Admins,</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would like to share a few reminders and clarifications regarding the Pressbooks statewide subscription.</span></div>
<ul data-editing-info="{"orderedStyleType":1,"unorderedStyleType":1}" style="direction: ltr; list-style-type: disc;">
<li style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The Pressbooks statewide subscription will end</b> on November 20, 2023.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>For colleges that are interested</b>, there is an option to buy into the Open Washington Pressbooks Network independently.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The college subscription fee will range approximately from $3,000 to $7,000</b>, depending on your college's FTE. If you require a quote, please let me know.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Even if your college decides not to renew the subscription</b>, faculty members will still retain access to edit any books created this year. They will also have the
ability to add collaborators as necessary. The only restriction will be the inability to create new books. Please encourage your faculty members to initiate as many books as they require this year, as they will be able to continue developing them even after
the subscription concludes.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>If you want your students to create accounts so that faculty can invite them to co-author books</b>, just let me know. I'd be happy to add the students' email domain
address to the list of allowed domains (if it's different from the faculty/staff email domain address).</span></div>
