Abstract
abstract: As academic librarians become aware of the challenges textbook expenses pose to student success, they have increased efforts to provide free access to required course materials. Librarians at Illinois State University initiated a program to license course-assigned e-books, surveying participating students and faculty regarding their perspectives on textbook affordability and their experiences with the provided e-books. Student responses were overwhelmingly positive, and they identified several ways the e-books enhanced their experience in the course. The findings suggest that library-provided course materials contribute to students’ engagement as learners and their academic success within courses.
摘要：随着学术图书馆员意识到教科书费用对学生成功所带来的挑战，他们加大了免费提供所需课程材料的力度。伊利诺伊州立大学（Illinois State University）的图书馆员发起了一项许可课程指定电子图书的计划，对参与计划的学生和教师进行了调查，了解他们对教科书可负担性的看法以及使用所提供电子图书的体验。学生们的回答绝大多数都是积极的，他们指出了电子图书提升他们课程体验的几种方式。研究结果表明，图书馆提供的课程材料有助于学生作为学习者的参与以及他们在课程中的学业成功。
