I could scan/pdf the texts, load them on discs which we could sell for a couple of bucks from the office to recoup the costs. This saves us a lot of clams on toner and paper. Discs come in huge spindels and are a lot cheaper to buy in bulk. Furthermore, students would have future access to those readings (unlike e-reserves which get erased eventually or printed booklets which might get pitched in the rubbish heap--or we hope the recycling bin).<br />Of course if we were an affluent department we would provide all of this and more to our students for free.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307659474340770559noreply@blogger.com
