Abstract
Presents key findings from the textbook survey. The main objectives for issuing the textbook survey in fall 2019 were to understand the textbook spending practices as well as related preferences of W&M students so that the campus administrators would have information useful for programs designed to increase course materials affordability. Specifically, survey objectives were to:
• Understand current costs of textbooks and course materials for W&M students
• Understand methods W&M students take to lower textbook costs
• Understand the viability of implementing an “inclusive access” textbook pilot
• Identify student suggestions for reducing textbook costs
