The New Face of Textbooks: Guiding Faculty Toward Alternatives

Abstract

Are students at your institution complaining about the high costs of textbooks? Do they continually ask if your library has copies of textbooks that can be checked out? Is it even possible for faculty to require course materials for their students that are not so expensive? Discover how librarians at two campuses have launched a pilot project to work with professors to find cost-effective and appropriate textbook alternatives for their courses.
