Academic Faculty: Textbook & Course Materials Affordability Survey Report
The Library Journal, with sponsorship from Taylor & Francis Group, conducted a survey with the objective of determining the level of concern college faculty have about course material affordability issues and whether they are utilizing digital resources (particularly those made available through the library) to keep costs down for students.The data, based on responses from 199 U.S. academic faculty representing a broad spectrum of disciplines, shows that textbook affordability is a major concern for nearly three-quarters of faculty when assigning course materials. Faculty also overwhelmingly describe textbook affordability as a major concern for students.
