From: Lindsay McKenzie <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2018 14:18:24 +0000 I reported some numbers from publishers on IA programs here (Nov 2017): https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/11/07/inclusive- access-takes-model-college-textbook-sales Didn’t ask about library involvement – it’s a good question. My sense is that publishers are trying to target faculty directly. *Lindsay McKenzie* Technology Reporter Inside Higher Ed @lindsay_mck <https://twitter.com/lindsay_mck> From: JJE Esposito <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2018 13:33:57 -0400 I think inclusive access will outstrip OER, just as Gold OA has outstripped Green OA. A reasonable business model is a good thing to have on your side. I received an offline (hence anonymous to this list) comment from someone who has been surveying the field. This individual believes that about 10 percent (roughly 400) U.S. institutions now have inclusive access programs in place. It would be great to be able to verify the number. Other open questions: how many of these programs are run out of the library, and (the big one) what is the rate of faculty adoption?

I serve on the team, as does our Copyright & Scholarly Communication Librarian. We’ve been working for a couple of years now on strategies to reduce textbook costs for students, and we’ve found that inclusive access is – for better or worse – a much easier sell to faculty than OERs. During the school year that just ended we had 21 courses with inclusive access arrangements – that’s not very many courses, but we calculate the total savings to students at roughly $400,000. --- Rick Anderson Assoc.

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: https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/the-direct- 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?
