Re:Supreme Court sides with student in case over textbooks by pm90 on Tuesday March 19, 2013 @05:52PM (#5403857)
The most practical thing to do would probably be to start a book bank; or, just have the department library stock up on textbooks which can then be loaned to every class that uses it. Those that want to keep the textbook can buy their copy, but most, who just want to read the material for the course, will happily use it

Most university libraries will keep 1 or 2 copies of a book on loan so you can study/photocopy them while in the library. The last few semesters of school I wound up doing this instead of buying the books.
