Additionally, explained speakers Mark Nelson, vice president of National Association of College Stores (NACS) Media Solutions, and Julie Traylor, chief of planning and research, NACS, some students can't find or access e-textbooks, and some are concerned that they won't do as well in a class if they use a format different from the instructor. (Instructors, Paxhia had noted earlier in the program, generally won't adopt a format, such as a digital format, unless every student has access to it.) According to a NACS study, 50 percent of surveyed students didn't know if e-textbooks were available to them, yet 50 percent were open to the option.
