In an effort to help college students manage burdensome book bills, a federal law that takes effect in July will require colleges to give students information about textbook prices in course listings. A proposal before the UW Board of Regents next week would change the University of Wisconsin System policies on textbooks to comply with the new federal law. The idea is that students can use the cost information to help them decide which courses to take. For the past year, the UW System has been working under interim guidelines to help students manage costs.
