An amendment to my below message, I'd also like to thank Dylan Gray and Jennifer
Kirkey from Douglas College for their contributions. This truly was a joint effort!

Subject: College Physics: OpenStax - now in Pressbooks
Hello Everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that BCcampus has added the final chapters of OpenStax'
College Physics to Pressbooks, and that both the Pressbooks and WordPress XML files of the
entire book have been uploaded to the [
https://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=c0cd5405-a301-4940-ab3a-…
| BC Open Textbook Collection ] . I will notify all BC faculty, on record, who have
adopted this textbook about this latest development.
I'd also like to offer a hearty thank you to our open education support, Joey Ma who,
along with Brendan Lane, were the driving force behind this long project. Without
Joey's tenacity, this task would not have been completed. Thank you Joey!
This news has been updated in our [ https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/ | Pressbooks Guide ]
in the section describing our [ https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/chapter/why/ | ongoing
work adding OpenStax books to Pressbooks ] .
Regards,
