    1. This is why librarians and your instructors are constantly asking you to take advantage of your academic privilege by using the library databases.

      Going into the library and finding a good source for a research paper can be so much more informative than searching online. You can take more information in with physically writing down all of the thoughts you stumble upon. Colleges being funded to buy and give students books is a remarkable thought and an even better process that it can be done yearly.

    2. The good news is that academics, librarians, and even the government are pushing for more open access to academic material.

      Going to South Plains College, there are many courses that the textbook is already provided making this statement of "more open access" plausible. However, there are still some textbooks that are necessary for a course that the student still has to pay for either with financial aid or out of pocket. There are so many students that refuse to take a certain course for the soul reason that the textbook is not provided and they have no means of paying for it. This stretch of getting textbooks covered by the college or government is necessary and such a fresh breath to know it is being taken care of.
