I introduced my first bill - HB 1076 - Blind and Visually Impaired Students - #TextbookEquity. Some blind and visually impaired students are not receiving their textbooks timely, and some not at all. This bill will correct this problem.
So basically, because these books were heavily used, Wiley decided to stop letting libraries buy them as ebooks. To top it off, we lost access the second week of classes. Faculty had planned their courses around students having library access to the texts. 2/2 #TextbookEquity
this garbage. #textbookequity and #access matters very very much

UNI's Rod Library offering grants to support open educational resources
The University of Northern Iowa announced funding opportunities for the adoption, customization or creation of open educational resources.
Talked with yet another student today who had to drop a class because the textbook was too expensive. #TextbookEquity
#TextbookEquity #OER friends: My student advisory group is tabling soon. I have table candy (Lifesavers) & want to make a little tag for each with our guide, etc. What's something punny it could say about #TextbookEquity? No jargon allowed. Students are the main audience.
It wouldn't be if #TextbookEquity were my entire job. But alas I have 9 liaison areas as well (down from 11!).
It's cognitive dissonance to have some faculty reject even considering #OER (for complex reasons--I get that) and get an email from academic affairs begging for campus food pantry donations. #TextbookEquity

@northerniowa faculty colleagues, spring course textbook adoptions are due in 2 days! Use a free online textbook? REPORT IT! Here's why this is important for you AND your students. #TextbookEquity
@northerniowa faculty: Please report free online textbook use for Spr23 courses! Deadline Oct. 1 via your dept's regular textbook process using Free Online Text materials type code (FOT). Why is this important? Let me count the ways:
Same. Real geniuses running that company. They think this is going to force students to buy the books. It won't. Students who can't afford expensive books won't buy them. So Wiley will go from making some $$ to nothing. #TextbookEquity

At @northerniowa we are supporting 9 faculty writing 5 open textbooks & will publish 4 previous projects! Total cost savings est. ~$300K annually. We'll recognize more #TextbookEquity Champions. Our initiative is led by @RodLibrary but has involvement all across campus!
@northerniowa colleagues & students: As part of #OpenEducationWeek, celebrating free/customizable course materials, join me tomorrow March 8 at 3pm for #TextbookEquity 101. All faculty, staff, & students are welcome! Details & registration link: insideuni.uni.edu/education/text…
I recently emailed out to supporters & put on LibGuide #TextbookEquity #OER program-level accomplishments to date. I did most of it but shared it as program milestones. I'm ok with that.
Struggling to put all my other commitments aside to be able to go to #OpenEd22 sessions even though I registered. 10 liaison areas + running campuswide #TextbookEquity initiative = crazy calendar! (also why I'm wearing 20-year-old glasses with the scratch coating coming off)
Please consider applying, @northerniowa instructors! Funds can help you to switch to free textbooks. #TextbookEquity
The UNI Textbook Equity Mini-Grant Program has been extended to Monday, October 17th, @ 5 pm. All applications are encouraged! For more information, please visit guides.lib.uni.edu/oer/UNIMiniGra…

That's super frustrating! FTR, we don't know if there will BE a next year for #TextbookEquity funding. It's one-time funds. In any case, we tried to keep the app as simple as possible!

Something went wrong.
