Students partner with library to address textbook affordability | William & Mary

"Recently two W&M student organizations, Student Assembly (SA) and W&M Libraries Student Ambassadors, turned to the libraries to seek ways to address textbook affordability. James Kunder ’19, SA secretary, and Alex Wingate ’18, ambassador president, met with Marian Taliaferro, W&M’s digital scholarship librarian, to explore possible solutions.

Taliaferro proposed two strategies to combat the increasing costs of higher education: adoption of open educational resources (OER) and better utilization of library materials in courses."
