W&M Libraries Publications
In Fall, 2019 W&M libraries disseminated a survey to all W&M students in order to understand their textbook spending practices so that the campus administrators would have information useful for programs designed to increase course materials affordability. The objectives of the survey were as follows.
Objective 1: Understand current costs of textbooks for W&M students.
Objective 2: Understand methods W&M students take to lower textbook costs.
Objective 3: Understand potential impact of implementing cost saving measures.
Objective 4: Understand options that W&M students might consider to lower the cost of textbooks.
