Hinds (Miss.) Community College calls it Instant Access. At San Diego State University, the program goes by Immediate Access. The Mizzou Store at the University of Missouri calls it AutoAccess. Unizin dubbed it the All Students Acquire model. Pearson referred to the model as both ALL-INclusive and Digital Direct Access. Macmillan calls its digital discount program Macmillan Learning Ready. Publishers McGraw-Hill Education, and Wiley use the term inclusive access, as do content delivery providers VitalSource and RedShelf. These programs are known by a variety of names. Student access to purchased materials ends at a length of time negotiated with the publisher. Because opt-out rates tend to be low, publishers say they can afford to offer volume discounts at substantial savings (“as much as 70 percent” ). If they do not opt out, access continues and they are automatically charged for the content. Access for enrolled students is free during a brief opt-out period at the beginning of the course if students opt out of buying the inclusive access content by the deadline, their access disappears. Content is usually linked in the campus learning management system (LMS). While the details may vary by publisher, vendor, retailer, or institution, inclusive access generally works like this: Students receive access to digital course materials on or before the first day of class. UA anecdotes come from 2017 interviews with Cindy Hawk, Assistant Director of the UA BookStores Mark Felix, Director of Instructional Services in the Office of Instruction & Assessment Management Information Systems Professor Bill Neumann and Valeria Pietz, eLearning and Multimedia Services Team Director in the Eller College of Management.

This chapter explores the evolution of inclusive access and the model’s possible advantages and disadvantages, considering perspectives of publishers, campus stores, faculty, students, and open educational resource (OER) advocates. In the college textbook landscape, inclusive access programs are expanding rapidly.
