Reduce the price of textbooks today Spring textbook requests were due Oct. 2. Submit your adoptions online at: www.und.bkstore.com then select the faculty services tab or call 777-2106. Here's why: * Having your course book information by the start of buyback allows us to pay students who choose to sell their books 50 percent of the book price at buyback. * Recycle and reuse - the more books we buy at the end of this fall term, the more students save next term. Used books are 25 percent off the new book price. * If you adopt the text alone, (instead of a textbook package or bundle), more students actually buy it. Recent studies conducted by Student Monitor indicate that 77 percent of students would choose to purchase the text alone if given the option. * With early information, we can notify you of publisher stock situations, edition changes, and out-of-print titles. We already have some proven success here at Barnes & Noble at UND. Our used textbook inventory for this current fall semester was over $1 million. The savings to UND students based on this inventory was over $337,000. We couldn't have done it without you! Thank you for your continued support. -- Michelle Abernathey, General Manager, Barnes & Noble at UND, michelle_aberanthey@mail.und.nodak.edu, 777-2103
