A unique program has been started by Horsham Education Consult (Horsham Ed) in partnership with MountCrest University College to encourage reading and research among tertiary students and professionals.
The "Horsham Online Library Project" aims to provide access to the largest online libraries in order to address the issue of the high cost of books and other educational materials, which tends to deter students from reading extensively in order to master the subjects that they study, resulting in high levels of plagiarism and subpar academic work output.
