Hello LLC,

LWTech has started the process of purchasing a buy-in to Pressbooks. If you’re interested in chatting about it before/after the webinar, please let me know. We’re excited at this opportunity for the college, as well as the initiative across the system 😊

I apologize. I just realized that Monday the 15th is a holiday. I will reschedule with the Pressbooks and get back to you with a new date.

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] Pressbooks Webinar on Accessibility and Institutional buy-In

Hi all,

As rumored, SBCTC has recently signed a contract with Pressbooks. This is a one-year contract purchased as a trial with no intent of promoting as a system-wide tool just yet.

However, a few colleges have been looking into purchasing Pressbooks on their own and wanted to know if it’s possible to buy under the SBCTC contract. We’ve also received inquiries about Pressbooks’ accessibility measures.

To that end, Pressbooks’ staff are offering a private webinar for Washington’s CTC that focuses on

  *   Accessibility measures of Pressbooks
  *   Discussion of SBCTC’s institutional buy-ins (this is also a chance to offer feedback to Pressbooks on accessibility, so bring all of your questions and feedback)

Meeting details:

  *   When: Monday, Feb 15, 2021 at 1pm - 2pm Pacific Time
  *   Joining by computer: us02web.zoom.us/j/81188876552 (ID: 81188876552)
  *   Joining by phone: (US) +1 253-215-8782

Hope to see many of you there! Please invite anyone on your campus who might be interested.
