Student PIRG's: Make Textbooks Affordable
For more than a decade, the Student PIRGS have led the way in exposing publisher’s practices that rip off students, championing cost-saving textbook options like used books and rental programs, and advocating for open textbooks as a long-term solution.

Crowdfunding with UTSA SGA
UTSA Student Government Association and the UTSA Libraries launched a crowdfunding project in 2018: Free Textbooks for UTSA Students. The campaign had a goal of raising $3,000 in 30 days. Funds raised were used to directly support UTSA faculty transforming courses that have relied on traditional, expensive textbooks to free textbooks.
