STUDENTS REMAIN RELUCTANT TO TRY E-TEXTBOOKS

STUDENTS REMAIN RELUCTANT TO TRY E-TEXTBOOKS
The vast majority of students say they prefer print textbooks over electronic ones, and attitudes have not shifted markedly in the past year, according to the results of a survey by the National Association of College Stores. The survey, set to be released tomorrow, found that 76 percent of students would pick a printed book over an e-textbook if the choice was left entirely up to them. That’s the exact same proportion as in the previous year’s survey. The association surveyed 627 students at campuses across the United States this month. About 13 percent of the students said they had purchased an e-book in the past three months, and most of those said they did so because a digital edition was required by their professor. The article is in The Chronicle of Higher Education’s Wired Campus blog.
