Why do we Need Open Textbooks?
The gross margin on new college textbooks is currently 22.7 percent according to the National Association of College Stores.
Products available in college stores are sold with a margin, as in any retail operation. Margin is the difference between cost and retail price, reflecting work required to bring products to market.

Why so urgent?
Consider One High Enrollment Course: English Composition I 37,226 enrollments / year X $100 textbook = $3.7 Million + (cost to students)
What if we looked at 100, 200, 300 high enrollment courses?

Bookstores Future Role?
40
Bookstores are perfectly positioned to be the College’s clearinghouse for printed open educational resources. print-on-demand open textbooks & OER course packs Students want printed options (Course Correction)
Have location and are tightly networked into IT and fiscal campus operations. e.g., students can use fin aid @ bookstores

New Textbook Publisher Models Flat World Knowledge went from 30 schools & 1,000 students
spring quarter, to 430 schools & 40,000 students this fall.
Several system faculty were involved in early reviews of their open textbooks.
There are other interesting open textbook publisher models emerging: CK-12 is doing great work in the K-12 space.
FREE Calculus Textbook? California (Free Digital Textbook Initiative Report) will likely adopt several of CK-12’s open textbooks and save the State of California a lot of money.
