HOW CAN STUDENTS KEEP TEXTBOOK COSTS DOWN?
Listed below are several alternative sources and means for keeping textbook costs down:
Check with the library and ask if your textbook is available for limited loan. If the library does not currently have the textbook, ask the instructor to request a desk copy for the library. Shop around. Compare prices from several book stores on and off campus. Use the textbook ISBN number to facilitate this. Check with on-line stores that specialize in selling textbooks such as: whywaitforbooks.com. (This is the campus Barnes & Noble website. A percentage of all sales goes toward college and student government programs.); amazon.com/textbooks; textbooks.com; cheapesttexbooks.com; booksprice.com; campusbooks.com. See if the textbook is available to download free through an open source on the internet. Many such repositories exist. Examples include: wikibooks.org; wikieducator.org; connexions (cnx.org); cccoer.wordpress.com; oercommons.org; merlot.org. Check for on-line textbook exchanges between students from sources such as: Ebay.com; bookswap.com; swapbooks.com; swaptree.com; betterworld.com Check if the publisher offers an e-text version that is paperless and usually cheaper. |
