CANADA: Rented textbook option gains ground
# 08, August 2010
Students at Carleton University in Ottawa will have the option of renting their textbooks from the beginning of the upcoming semester, reports CBC News.The school's bookstore is one of six across Canada trying out Rent-A-Text , which has been a successful programme in the United States, where it has helped to reduce student study costs.
Students will have to sign an agreement to rent the books and on average save about half the price they would have paid if they were to buy them. But they must return the books at the end of the semester.
