Students have to make impossible choices – between textbooks and food, between expensive materials and poor grades – while the publishing market generates huge profits at students’ expense. Oregon’s colleges have made progress on lowering the cost of course materials, thanks in part to strong advocacy from student groups. In this webinar, some of our student activists will talk about strategies that they have pursued to promote affordable textbooks on their campuses. Other student leaders will come away with new ideas they can use to advocate for lowering costs at their own schools. -- Amy Hofer Coordinator, Statewide Open Education Library Services openoregon.org<http://openoregon.org> 510-213-0702 Linn-Benton Community College 6500 SW Pacific Blvd. Albany, OR 97321 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CCCOER Advisory" group.
