Hello



We have a good idea of libraries in the UK who are involved in this
textbook activity, but I too would love to know more about which of our US
Library colleagues are either working in or interested in this field.   The
greater the level of activity the more leverage we can bring in terms of
pricing, access etc. and actively shape the service proposition to best
interests of our stakeholders including students, faculty and institutions



Am also happy to discuss UK experience with any colleagues



Bests

The direct library supply of individual textbooks to students: examining
the value proposition

I had three separate conversations about "inclusive access" for textbooks
this week, and am now wondering if there is a rising tide. For background
on inclusive access, I refer you to my blog post of last year:



https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2017/03/27/reduce-
cost-college-textbooks/



Also look at Dominic Broadhurst's paper on this topic:

library-supply-of-individual-textbooks-to-students--examining-the-value-
proposition(3372d989-40e6-4f1d-840a-511977822b16).html



Is anybody keeping track of how many institutions are working on inclusive
access programs and whether the library is involved?
