How different are the current versions of the textbooks in your courses different from the previous versions? If the answer is "not much" you mitt think about using the previous version for your assigned textbook. It could save your students LOTS of money, with almost no affect to their learning of the material. Rather than automatically going with the latest version, at least consider this and other ways to lower textbook costs for our students.
The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2009 has a section that deals with textbook costs. Congress has taken notice. Please take a moment to think about what you can do.
