Save Money on Course Materials with These Pro Tips
Posted: March 30, 2023
Today, textbooks, affordability and equity of access are on the minds of students, faculty and administrators at colleges and universities across the country.
The library believes that understanding the options available is of the greatest help to everyone involved and so we have created the Textbook Options webpages and references (follow that link for your money saving pro tips!).
A work in progress, these webpages profile relevant library and campus resources, discuss online resources at students’ disposal, include links to resources for locating open educational resources (OERs) and suggest ways for faculty to help.
The library is also pleased to announce the Spring Quarter ’23 launch of the High-Cost Required Textbook Initiative. This pilot promises to provide data and information that will inform the development of future affordable textbook initiatives that save students money; be sure to check the list to see if any of your course materials are included.
Thank you for joining the conversation and work devoted to the affordability and equity of access for students!
