We believe that students' needs should come first. New inclusive access programs claim to do just that, but many in the higher education community have voiced concerns. Our managing director wrote a great piece on inclusive access. You can read it here - https://t.co/K1BUJfFoMH

Excellent, sent the 4th edition link on to psychology faculty who reviewed and adopted your 3rd edition-thx!

[Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani @profjhangiani]

I am absolutely delighted to announce the publication of the fourth edition of Research Methods in Psychology, a comprehensive open textbook for research methods classes: https://t.co/WmoWltQKRT 1/8

This isn’t just about protecting student data. We need to question why publishers are collecting it in the first place, how much of it they retain, and what they plan to do with it. https://t.co/ZoMYiKOdJ1

Have to agree with comment by @Williambadke in this case, especially his last sentence: “If you want to consult with the people who...talk to your academic librarians.” #digitalliteracy #digitalfluency #librarians #highereducation

[EDUCAUSE @educause]

Just because students own digital devices does not mean that they've developed digital literacy https://t.co/qL43gJHNMN #StudentSuccess

Excellent piece on the implications for #highered if Cengage and McGraw Hill merge. @EdSurge @jryoung https://t.co/4Co6EVCpFy

[Robin Ashford @rashford]

"Yes, I'm still an advocate for experimentation with technologies that can enhance the student experience. However, there's a cautiousness that's been creeping into my consciousness." (could have written that myself)

[SPARC @SPARC_NA]

More on the proposed Cengage/McGraw-Hill merger by @JillianBerman at @MarketWatch. Our @txtbks says: "The textbook market is already highly concentrated and this just puts it into fewer hands." https://t.co/qZHQZUkcoV

[Robin Ashford @rashford]

@EBSCO Okay, resets at the end of the session, sounds good, thanks very much!

[Robin Ashford @rashford]

.@EBSCO Quick question re EBSCO ebooks, how long is temporary in this case? Does it reset in 24hrs? -Thx
From your page: "If you have reached your printing limit, the option to print or save eBook pages will be temporarily unavailable." https://t.co/YjgY8p02fd

[Nicole Allen @txtbks]

I'm worried about what a @MHEducation & @CengageLearning merger means for textbook prices, but even more worried what it means for student data... https://t.co/2KujJfJU3g

How would you punish Facebook and reclaim your digital privacy? Whistleblowers, experts and researchers shared their best ideas with @cwarzel. https://t.co/PZGN0vcx3c
