    Rice University: Fondren Library Sustainability Plan
    (Rice University, 2019) Fitzpatrick, Ashley; Borodina, Svetlana; Spiro, Lisa; Fondren Library
    As awareness of climate change and other environmental and social problems grow, many libraries and librarians are dedicating themselves to sustainability, “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”3 We call upon Fondren Library to practice and promote sustainability through its wise building practices, reductions in resource consumption, support for research and teaching, targeted collection development, and outreach activities. These recommendations were formulated in support of the global community’s response to climate change, the American Library Association’s embrace of sustainability as a core value of librarianship, and Rice University’s pledge to reduce its carbon footprint through the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. By implementing sustainability strategies and collaborating with other on-campus sustainability initiatives, Fondren Library can reduce environmental pollution and contribute to learning and knowledge on Rice University’s campus and beyond. To implement the proposed changes, we recommend developing an action plan, creating a library-based group focused on sustainability, appointing a sustainability liaison, and hiring a student “eco-rep” for Fondren.

    Reducing the High Cost of Textbooks for Students
    (Rice University, 2020-10-20) Baraniuk, Rich; Crear, Shelah; Jungels, Amanda M.; Fondren Library; Center for Teaching Excellence; Student Success Initiatives
    When faced with buying expensive textbooks, many students choose not to register for a course; others delay purchasing them, share them with others, or strain to afford them. According to the Student Association Financial Accessibility Working Group Final Report, "students can shell out hundreds of dollars a semester just for the costs of textbooks, a sum that some students on Rice campus cannot possibly afford." This virtual panel discussion explored the problem of expensive course materials and strategies for reducing these costs.
