摘要

《负担得起的课程材料》(Affordable Course Materials)收录的九个案例研究引用了一些研究,它们指出了全国学生在每个新学期都面临的同一个事实:教科书的价格远远超过了通货膨胀率。根据政府问责局2013年发布的一份经常被引用的报告,在过去的十年里,新教科书的平均价格上涨了82%,是通货膨胀率的三倍这些案例研究表明,图书馆已经成为校园社区的中心部分,并致力于平等获取信息资源,完全可以降低核心文本的成本。图书馆以创新的方式方便学生获取课程资料,可以减轻他们所服务学生的经济负担。这本书展示了学术图书馆采取的方法,以使他们的校园社区受益,作者面临的挑战,以及吸取的教训。它为那些希望实施自己的倡议的人提供了宝贵的信息和灵感来源。

Book Review: Affordable Course Materials: Electronic Textbooks and Open Educational Resources
The nine case studies collected in Affordable Course Materials cite research that points to the same truth students across the country face with each new academic term: the price of textbooks far outpaces the rate of inflation. According to an oft-cited report released by the Government Accountability Office in 2013, the price of the average new textbook rose 82 percent in the preceding decade—three times the rate of inflation.1 These case studies assert the claim that libraries, already both a central part of the campus community and committed to equal access to information resources, are perfectly poised to mitigate the cost of core texts. By facilitating access to course materials in innovative ways, libraries can alleviate the financial burden on the students they serve. This volume showcases approaches taken by academic libraries to benefit their campus communities, the challenges the authors faced, and the lessons learned. It serves as a valuable source of information and inspiration for those wishing to implement their own initiatives.
