- Exploring Faculty Perspectives on Text Selection and Textbook Affordability Scott, Rachel Elizabeth Shelley, Anne Murphy, Julie Park, Rachel Jallas, Mallory College Faculty Teacher Attitudes Textbooks Costs Textbook Selection Academic Libraries Electronic Books Undergraduate Study Access to Information Library Role This paper reports the results of a pilot project conducted Spring 2021 in which Milner Library licensed seventy-five assigned texts to fifty-two courses at Illinois State University. The authors used the pilot as a springboard to explore faculty perspectives on textbook selection, textbook affordability, and the role of the academic library in addressing the rising cost of textbooks. The results highlight the strong and often deeply personal beliefs faculty hold about textbook selection and textbook affordability, reveal several obstacles to achieving affordable access to course readings, and demonstrate the willingness of some faculty to partner with librarians and other institutional stakeholders to explore more affordable access to assigned resources.
