The Tennessee Textbook Affordability listserv is a discussion list intended for Tennessee higher education faculty and administrators interested in:

  • Sharing ideas, resources and best practices pertaining to course material affordability,
  • Distributing campus, state, and national events and opportunities related to course material affordability--feel free to use this list to invite colleagues across the state to participate,
  • Soliciting feedback and guidance on OER and textbook affordability issues from colleagues at neighboring institutions.

To ensure relevance and manage listserv traffic, please follow the guidelines below:

  • Posts to the list should fall within one or more of the three categories above.
  • When starting a new post, choose a clear and concise subject line that describes the topic.
  • When replying to posts, please only respond to the group if the response is relevant to the group. Otherwise, respond to the sender.
  • Generally speaking, posts should deal with one topic at a time.
  • If you are seeking some sort of general information, like recommendations or how-tos, volunteer to gather all the responses, recommend that others contact you directly, and then summarize the responses for the list. This will help keep list traffic more manageable.
  • Include an email signature with your first and last name so that others know who you are
