Our computer science department used to pay for printing lecture materials. This great service was discontinued this year thanks to budget cuts. The students are not amused to the extent that we are now setting up our own printing infrastructure to keep the books available. Fortunately they are available as PDF. Even though university is free, not everyone is able or willing to purchase an e reading device. During exams, electronic devices are not allowed, while some lecturers allow printed scripts or books to be used in exams.
