PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE: 3PM -- Textbook Affordability: University Libraries and Bookstores supporting Student Success (Q)
Event box
Guest Presenter: Steven Bell, Temple University
There’s a perception that academic librarians and their campus bookstore colleagues have an adversarial relationship. Librarians may think the store will oppose efforts to introduce textbook affordability strategies. Bookstore managers may believe the library seeks control of the provision of course learning material. The reality is that both share common ground in supporting student academic success. Steven will discuss current academic library trends, why academic librarians are open advocates and how the library mission is changing from content delivery to the support of learning, creative digital research and radical collaboration for openness in higher education. Steven will share findings from his research on the relationship between academic libraries and college bookstores.
