OER and Bookstore
Challenges and Recommendations
F2012
• Start of our major OER implementation
• OER materials published through local publisher
• Sold in bookstore
Challenges
• Not enough workbooks were being ordered
• Students were having to wait for workbooks
• Students were not allowed to pre-order workbooks
• Bookstore markup (40%ish) still applies
Adjustment for Spring 2013
• Met with bookstore and publisher reps
• Bookstore agreed to order more books if publisher would guarantee returns of unused copies
• Bookstore markup (40%ish) still applies
Recommendations
• Communicate early with bookstore and involve them in planning
• Help them understand goals of OER and how they can be a part of helping students
• Be willing to compromise (i.e. 40% markup remained in place) to help them meet their bottom line
• Touch base with them each semester to keep communication lines open

Math ProfessorOpen Textbook Faculty Co-Author
Collaborating with the campus Bookstore
Collaborative Statistics• 1994 – 2007: for profit text;
– $38 bookstore cost; $50 student cost• #1 text sold at college in terms of quantity• 2008 – 2014: OER text
– with hard copy purchase option• First open textbook used at college
Logistics: 2008+• Met with Bookstore manager:
– Ordering hard copies for faculty• limited desk copies available from a grant• added <$1 to each hard copy cost sold to cover faculty,
library, tutoring center copies
– Expected great loss of sales• Initially sales went up, students used print copy as workbook• Each year more students using only online or pdf versions
– QOOP/Lulu cost under $30 for direct purchase– 15-20 % Discount for Bookstore ordering in volume– Bookstores still charge markup 24-28%
Outcomes
PROS• Still #1 text sold on
campus in terms of quantity
• Still good relations with Bookstore
• Reduced cost to students
• Saved students > $1m
CONS• Decreased sales at
decreased price.
