Efforts ongoing to lower textbook costs at Iowa State - K. Rambo, Iowa State Daily

Some at Iowa State are working to make textbooks more accessible for all students. Heather Dean, course materials manager at the Iowa State University Bookstore, is a three-time winner of the Excellence in Course Materials Management award from the Independent College Bookstore Association for her efforts in textbook affordability at Iowa State. Dean’s passion for textbook accessibility stems from her time as a student at Iowa State, where a textbook can run as high as $347. http://www.iowastatedaily.com/news/article_b45034a2-2b7d-11e8-903e-0f4e039239de.html
