“Nearly one-third of the world’s population (29.3%) is under 15. Today there are 158 million people enrolled in tertiary education1. Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million2 in 2025. Accommodating the additional 105 million students would require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for the next fifteen years.

Online, on demand access to one textbook (~$19/month) costs more than online, on demand access to every major movie, TV show, and song produced in the US in recent memory ($7.99 + $9.99 = $17.98/month).
One textbook costs more than the entire output of the film, television, and music industries combined.

Partner with Legislators who care about:
(a) efficient use of national / state
tax dollars; (b) saving students money;
(c) increasing access to education
“By developing this library of openly licensed courseware and making it available to school districts free of charge, the state and school districts will be able to provide students with curricula and texts while substantially reducing the expenses that districts would otherwise incur in purchasing these materials. In addition, this library of openly licensed courseware will provide districts and students with a broader selection of materials, and materials that are more up-to-date.”
US $2 billion over four years
Publicly funded resources should be openly licensed resources.
• Cooperate & share = We all Win– Faculty have new choices when building
learning spaces.– …the more eyes on a problem, the greater
chance for a solution.• Affordability: students can’t afford
textbooks• Self-interest: good things happen
when I share• It’s a social justice issue: everyone
should have the right to access digital knowledge.
Why is “Open” Important?

But even better, the bill sponsor said:
• "As the costs of publishing continue to be driven down by new technology, we will continue to see a growth in open access publishers.
• This new and innovative model appears to be the wave of the future. The transition must be collaborative, and must respect copyright law and the principles of open access.
• The American people deserve to have access to research for which they have paid.
