<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Erin, <div>One of our librarians, Caitlan Maxwell, led a course materials accessibility working group this year to look at and propose a model as we move into negotiations. I share the final report here with her permission. The group did an amazing amount of research. She also suggests talking to city university about their etextbook purchases. </div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="color:rgb(0,104,94)">Dawn Lowe-Wincentsen, MLIS</span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black"><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning, <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our colleges are in the stages of renegotiating our bookstore contract and shopping around for vendors. It has been proposed by some that the Library could be the keeper and distributer of textbooks and textbook sales. Understandably, that
is not sitting well with many of our Librarians. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What are other college’s bookstore models? How are your Libraries involved, or not, with the college bookstore? Do any of your Libraries distribute/sell textbooks? What bookstore vendors do your institutions use? We have a taskforce that’s
been developed and I want to bring back information from other colleges and their models.
