We have a continual problem at my Community College of students not getting financial aid checks until the 3rd or 4th week of a term. For many, that means they cannot buy textbooks for the first weeks of the class.
Our library has some texts on reserve, but it is higgledy-piggledy. We are investigating writing a grant to purchase a single copy of every required text that we do not already have, and promoting it as ' The Library has every required book' We think this would promote use, and help with student success and retention.
Do any of you have a policy, or experience with similar projects?
