Abstract Alongside increasing tuition and fees, textbook costs remain an expensive hurdle for students seeking a college education; however, university libraries are implementing strategies to ease this financial burden. Initiatives like income-based textbook programs, library textbook collections, and partnerships with faculty to encourage the use of free e-textbooks are just a few ways libraries are easing the financial strain. It is in this spirit that LSU’s interlibrary loan department supplemented such initiatives by revising its decades old no-textbook policy. In the spring of 2017, a pilot was launched, and for the first time, graduate students were able to make requests to interlibrary loan for textbooks. Prior to launch, some concerns were expressed about the ramifications of allowing such a service. This case study will respond directly to those concerns using data collected from ILLiad over the course of the pilot as well as discuss the strategy used to carefully implement the service.

不允许带教科书！（除非你是研究生！）：路易斯安那州立大学试点 ILL 教科书服务

摘要 随着学杂费的增加，教科书成本仍然是寻求大学教育的学生的昂贵障碍。然而，大学图书馆正在实施减轻这种财务负担的战略。诸如基于收入的教科书计划、图书馆教科书收藏以及与教职员工合作鼓励使用免费电子教科书等举措只是图书馆缓解财务压力的几种方式。正是本着这种精神，路易斯安那州立大学的馆际互借部门通过修改其已有数十年历史的无教科书政策来补充此类举措。2017年春季启动试点，研究生首次实现了课本馆际互借申请。在推出之前，有人对允许此类服务的后果表示了一些担忧。
