Local academic library organization getting creative to save students big bucks - Anthony Schoettle, IBJ

Amid the economic downturn and an uncertain near-term future, colleges and students everywhere are looking for ways to keep the price of a post-secondary education down. The Private Academic Library Network of Indiana Inc. thinks it has several digitally driven initiatives that will help do that. To combat the financial pressures on college students and their families, PALNI has created its affordable learning program—PALSave—with the goal of saving students more than $1 million in five years. Due to the early growth of their initiatives, PALNI officials are confident they’ll beat that goal, saving students $1.25 million by mid-2024.
