Library Journal has created a survey to learn whether textbook affordability is an issue for academic institutions, the methods libraries may use to assuage it, and how receptive faculty is in addressing these concerns collaboratively with the library.
The questionnaire is estimated to take four minutes to complete. All respondents who complete the survey will be eligible for a drawing for a $100 Amazon.com gift card. Please respond before March 29, 2019.
