[Cpcommunicator] Bookstore buyback and text ordering
>From Mark Wigand
The single most effective way for faculty to help CPCC students save
money when purchasing textbooks is by placing course adoptions early.
We want our customers to have the right book when they need it, and we
make every effort to find a used copy. If you are planning to use the
same text next semester, tell us as soon as possible! We will be able to
buy those textbooks from students at the end of the current semester. Or
if you are using a different text, advance notice gives us time to
request used books from other college stores in the efollett.com network
so they can buy them back for us. This ensures that plenty of used books
will be available for your course.
Early adoptions help students twice: more cash back at buyback and less
expensive used books later.
The key to having this program work is timely communication. The
bookstore needs to receive textbook ordering information prior to each
buyback period. That means that we need to know which books are needed
for three months before the start of the new semester. By working
together we can help keep the price of textbooks down.
