<p class="MsoNormal">Given the budget situation, we will only be buying faculty or student requests. We just started curbside pickup, so print vs ebook will be on a case by case basis, mostly looking at the cost since some eBooks are three times the price
as print. We have only had one faculty request so far this quarter. <o:p></o:p></p>

our budget open.<o:p></o:p></p>
