William & Mary Student Textbook Survey

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.

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
