These chapters reflect the wide range of experimental approaches that are under way on campuses across the country.

The focus of this chapterisonstudenttextbookcosts,andaddresseswaystheycanbereduced. A timely target—the accelerated cost of annual student expenditures for books. During the 2012–2013 academic year they averaged $1,250 at U.S. public and private schools (National Center for Educational Statistics).

As a contrast, James Lund in chapter 2 describes how the bookstore at Westminster Seminary California vii viii Introduction was placed under library operations, and discusses some of the challenges andopportunities thisentailedforthelibrary.

In chapter 3, Loren Turner and Jennifer Wondracek discuss the pros and cons of librarians supporting MOOC initiatives within their universities. Typically, a MOOC—a massive, open, online course—is offered by faculty to learners of every variety, unrestricted by geography and for free on an online platform; it is a leading, recent example of how technology is trans- forming education. The purpose is to provide anyone anywhere a quality education without cost, or at low cost, with 24/7 access to course materials developed by outstanding scholars. This chapter describes how the Univer- sity of Florida Law School teamed up with librarians to develop a MOOC, and demonstrates how MOOCs provide opportunities to raise the profile of librarianswithinanacademicinstitution.
