Hello All,
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.

There are a lot of great resources linked in that presentation. I also copied Colleen here to share her further research if she is willing and if people are interested.

Hello lovely colleagues~

      Following a growing trend, my college is in negotiations with B&N to operate our bookstore.

Today is my first opportunity to ask them about their contract stipulations regarding OER.    For those of you with a B&N run bookstore, I'm curious if any of you have gotten a successful outcome from your conversations during negotiations?

Thanks for your thoughts!

All my best,

Jacquelyn
