Update on Vretta's printing of OpenStax books

This message is sent on behalf of Lauri Aesoph. Dear colleagues: It's been more than a year since Toronto-based Vretta agreed to be the Canadian distributor for OpenStax hardcover textbooks<https://bccampus.ca/2020/04/28/hard-back-openstax-books-come-to-canada/>, two years after BCcampus approached OpenStax about providing this service as an option. Since then, BCcampus and Campus Manitoba have met with Vretta regularly to gauge response to this opportunity and discuss service finetuning that best fit need. Adjustments were made throughout the pandemic to ensure that printed OpenStax textbooks continued to be available. With the January term around the corner, Vretta is ready to receive textbook orders and answer questions as it and its collaborators—BCcampus and Campus Manitoba—look to improve access to their OpenStax inventory of hardback books. Details regarding service improvements will be shared in 2021. In the meantime, questions regarding this service can be directed to Vretta Account Manager, Shoeb Mozammel, at shoeb.mozammel(a)vretta.com. Regards, Lauri Aesoph Manager, Open Education, BCcampus
