Looking for bookstore/OER impact article
Jessica Norman
Hi All,
I’m working on a facts/stats sheet that highlights findings from various OER studies. I remember previously reading a study or report that showed that overall, institutions make money from OER because the loss of revenue from the bookstore is offset by the additional tuition paid by students who complete, persistent and/or take additional classes. I’ve been combing through my Zotero notes today and cannot find that reference again. Does it ring any bells for anyone?
In general, do you know of any articles that speak to the connection between bookstore, OER use, and institutional revenue? I have David Wiley’s 2014 blog post, Steven Bell’s 2017 article, and the Achieving the Dream’s 2018 initiative report.

Thanks, Jessica

Several people sent me the article:
Wiley, D., Williams, L., DeMarte, D., & Hilton, J. (2016). The Tidewater Z-Degree and the INTRO Model for Sustaining OER Adoption. Education Policy Analysis Archives, 24(0), 41. https://doi.org/10.14507/epaa.24.1828
Thanks everyone!!

Hi Jessica,
While not completely to your question, it’s worth pointing out the local economic impact of OER. Most of the money that a student spends on a commercial textbook goes to a commercial publisher, thereby leaving the community. Money that a student doesn’t spend in this way most likely stays in the community, being spent on housing, food, anything really. This is a positive contribution to the local economy.
Thanks!
James
