If you want to buy books. i would advise you to go online and search the prices for these books using services like http://www.thecollegetextbooks.net. It is better than going for standalone stores. As you can save on lot of money using them.

I truly think that downloadable text books are going to make a big impact on the future. There are several things to consider though. One good one is the environment, I don’t think anyone can deny that it’s important to find alternatives to help our forests. Another item would be cost. I think it’s important for student to save money on books, that is what my website is all about. However, managing and finding the information will be a huge task once companies like ours who are encouraging this change find themselves losing money. I say that not out of greed, but lets face it. We don’t want to have writers stop providing quality information, because the market does not pay. We also don’t want students paying the same amount searching for what they need, or paying monthly fees to many different online sources. I think that the effort needs to come from all of us. The writer, professor, student and provider. We need to keep our eye on the value of quality, affordable information to make this process happen quickly while providing a good experience for all.

I’m in a medium-sized community college, and we have an adequate library, but we can’t afford to buy textbooks – not even one copy – of all the courses offered on campus. It would easily eat up our entire library materials budget to do so.

Our nursing department supplies us with a copy that is placed on reserve. Most departments don’t have the wherewithall – or the insight – to do the same.

I do wonder though how we came to be persuaded that purchasing a text rather than borrowing one was the way to go. Hard copy text do get updated regularly, as they need to do to maintain currency. But that is a reason for borrowing rather than buying, so can we steer students to libraries more and can libraries stock more textbooks (either online or physically). Added benefit would be more browsing through alternative sources if one is in the vicinity of other virtual or physical text. Consider a booklist rather than a set text as well – a strategy followed in non US educational establishments.

I understand that writers should have royalties over the hard work that is put into writing and detailing textbooks or books in general. However, I think it would be great to be able to download the books and use them as needed for classes. To save our trees would be another reason to have books available online or by computer. Wouldn’t it be great if, authors could get their pay and save a tree or two; help students without costing the student an arm an leg to learn.
