Neville praises U of T library project that cuts cost for students

September 27, 2016

When 1,900 University of Toronto students attended their first lectures of the year, they were in for a pleasant surprise. Their professors revealed that students didn’t have to pay for their course readings because they’d now be available online thanks to the ‘zero-to-low cost course’ (ZTLCC) project which connects professors with librarians to find ways of sourcing course material digitally.

Kate Neville, assistant professor of political science, cross appointed with the School of the Environment, took advantage of the project as soon as she began teaching at U of T last year. “I really like the idea of using resources that U of T already has to help students minimize their additional costs for an already expensive education,” she says. The copyright office says each of Neville’s students has saved $118.
