Every time a student has asked to replace a book with one of their
own, the replacement has not been a book that I would want in my
library, nor would I want to take the time to catalog it.
Additionally, we add a couple dollars to the replacement cost for
cataloging charges.

Education is not a goal; it is a life-long process. Everyone is a
