More College Students May Have Option of Renting Textbooks
8/14/2009

An August 13, 2009 article from The New York Times reports that college textbook publishers are starting to offer students the option of renting - rather than purchasing - course materials. Having the ability to rent textbooks may be appealing to college students, who typically spend from $700 to $1,100 per year on books. Textbook rental programs are still in the experimental stages on many college campuses, and terms of the rental agreements vary by publisher.

The article is available at the Web site of The New York Times.
