An interesting selection of case studies on how academic libraries support textbook affordability efforts. Can be repetitive (many of the featured libraries use similar approaches), but a good starting point for an investigation. Would have appreciated examples from community colleges or liberal arts colleges.

“Make it your goal to create such a successful program on your campus that eventually it disappears - then there won‘t be just one size. There will be an infinite number of programmatic approaches of sizes and scopes and contents of course materials that fit every course, every instructor, and every student. Our libraries, our universities, and our collective knowledge will be the richer for it.”
