Each governing board of a state institution of higher education shall consider creation and implementation of an online textbook library at the institution to allow students to purchase only those materials needed for the applicable course work. In considering the program, the governing board, at a minimum, shall take into account both the costs to the institution of higher education and the potential for reduced costs to students. Whether an institution of higher education creates an online textbook library shall be at the sole discretion of the institution's governing board.
