Hello,
It is that time of semester when we hopefully see more attention brought to the high cost
of textbooks. UVIC made the papers -
http://www.saanichnews.com/news/410166795.html#.WHZqlZmgDuo.twitter
And here at Douglas, the Douglas College Student Union set up a table set in our concourse
area (see attached picture). I took the picture at the end of the day but during the day I
noticed they had a lot of traffic around the table.
Did anything happen at your institution that you would like to share?

Our students at KPU have something going too. Sadly I didn’t take a picture of it (I know
– if you don’t get a photo it never happened!). I’m reaching out to the organizer to see
if he got a photo. Nothing works better than students engaging students!

Hello all,
I reached out to the student newspaper and Langara Student Union leadership about the
rising cost of commercial textbooks, with the hope that students would champion the cause.
Sadly, there’s been little interest/uptake to date. It’s great to see traction on other
campuses though, and I’ll continue to proselytize here at Langara ;)

Also, Lindsay, we can organise a panel discussion or a presentation/workshop with that
group alone. I presented something at the Student Union Development Summit this past
summer that was very well received and generated quite a bit of discussion. Let me know if
you want to think about that and then we can chat. Maybe we can do something like that for
Open Education Week at the end of March?
Let me know.

Our students at KPU have something going too. Sadly I didn’t take a picture of it (I know
– if you don’t get a photo it never happened!). I’m reaching out to the organizer to see
if he got a photo. Nothing works better than students engaging students!

Thanks for the news briefs.
I had a lengthy discussion with someone from the UFV student paper back in November. His
intention was to write an article by Christmas, but I have yet to see anything appear.
I do hear from individual students now and again that there are students interested or
planning to make more noise about textbook costs. The current student union president took
ownership of the issue a few years ago, but it seems her plate has been well more than
full since then.
Sadly, no dedicated activists have emerged otherwise. Some more vociferous student
mobilisation would be fun to see here, and probably get a few more faculty knocking on my
door.

This is excellent Debra! Hey... maybe you can write something for our blog? :-) Or maybe a
tweet with the photo using the #BCOEL hashtag? I would like to see the "new"
hashtag get more traction.
