TRENDABLE STUDENT SURVEY DATA,
NOW IN ITS THIRD VOLUME!

The way students learn and instructors teach is undergoing a radical shift, and the role of the traditional print "textbook" as the foundational tool for instruction is changing along with the traditional publishing model.

To help shed light on these changes, the Book Industry Study Group's (BISG's) Student Attitudes Toward Content in Higher Education survey continues to provide a baseline for tracking the rapid changes underway in the Higher Education marketplace. Volumes One, Two, and Three contain data from two fieldings of a core set of survey questions aimed at students enrolled in for-profit, two- and four-year colleges. The fieldings provide trendable information to help answer the following questions:

• How do students define and seek value?
• What are the key factors in student buying (and non-buying) behaviors?
• What categories of students prefer e-textbooks?
• What is the current penetration and significance of textbook rental programs?

Purchasable as dynamic online access via Real-Time Reporting* and as broad stand-alone PDF summary reports, Student Attitudes Toward Content in Higher Education provides practical guidance to companies working to refine their business strategies.
