As publishers seek to directly bill students for e-textbooks, some are removing content from libraries. Read more on Wiley's actions from Library Futures & SPARC, and get the facts on automatic textbook billing at InclusiveAccess.org.

Thoroughly inspired by this amazing group of students at the #OpenEd22 opening plenary. Students have always been the heart of #openeducation and doing this work with them makes me feel hope. 🥰 opened22.sched.com/event/16Jui/op…

Had an awesome time visiting OpenStax this week! Loved getting to meet the full team and hear about the exciting things they’re working on. The scale of their impact for students and the #OER field is just incredible. 💚

📆 This #OEWeek 2023, I’m continuing to support open educational resources which make education more affordable and accessible to all. My Affordable College Textbook Act will let students focus on learning instead of worrying about outrageous textbook costs.

Last week, I heard from MA Dept of Higher Ed student leaders about pressing issues facing MA college students, like difficulty meeting their basic needs and the high cost of textbooks.

Students should be able to choose how they spend their financial aid dollars on books & supplies. That’s why we sent a letter urging U.S. Department of Education to finalize changes that would eliminate a college's ability to bill students for materials without their say so.

"In 90% of the bookstore operating contracts ...the school received a commission payment based on sales of automatic textbook billing products." If the campus is making a profit and the publisher is making a profit, who is in charge of keeping costs low for students?

“If I’m not paying for $500 of textbooks, that’s a month of rent. I can get groceries that aren’t ramen,” one college student says. Does she think textbook subscription deals help or hurt? buff.ly/3Y2xZfR
