Faculty Attitudes Toward Content in Higher Education also provides insight into the textbook selection process faculty employ. More than half of faculty surveyed (57 percent) indicated that textbook selections were based on individual choice. More than three-quarters prefer materials with which they already have experience and most hesitate to adopt a new edition until necessary. Further, 60 percent are heeding student concerns about the expense of texts and prefer materials that are available at a low cost to students. The same percentage advise students on where to find required course materials, but only 30 percent believe that bookstores are providing adequate information about format and price options for students.
