Equitable Access Position Paper

[Nathan Smith]

Hello friends,

I know a lot of you are concerned about the trend for schools to make inclusive access and equitable access agreements with bookstores. My college is right now in the midst of a contested debate about whether or not to pursue an equitable access program (we already do inclusive access). As I have worked with colleagues in my college on these issues for years, I have developed my own perspective and arguments. So, over the past few weeks, I decided to write them down. The result is the attached position paper. Because this is an issue that impacts many of us, I thought I would share it.

Feel free to redistribute as you see fit. My goal was to try to assemble evidence and treat the arguments as even-handedly and comprehensively as possible. I hope you find this useful.

All the best,

Nathan
