It’s that time of year again! Classes start up in two weeks, and as exciting as it is to be heading back to campus and being reunited with friends, you can’t forget about your textbooks and school supplies.
We know that each student has a different learning style, and we now offer many course material options so that each student has the tools he/she needs to be successful in the classroom. Also, since we’re the official course materials retailer on campus, we are guaranteed to have the right books because we get the lists directly from the professors. No more guessing if you’re purchasing the right edition or volume!
Here’s a quick breakdown:
New Textbooks: Does someone else’s highlighting distract you? Do you prefer to make your own notes in the margins? Does something about that new book smell get your brain running? If so, then new textbooks are for you! New textbooks come straight from the publisher and are just waiting for you to crack them open. Remember--if your textbook requires an accompanying online access code, you may need to buy the new textbook to get the code.
Used Textbooks: Used books are definitely the right choice for anyone hoping to have a true Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince moment, and glean some important knowledge from those who carried the book before you. They are also a great way to save money if you don’t need the thrills of a new book. Many books are available with this option.
Rental Textbooks: You are a non-nonsense kind of person--you need the textbook to get you through the class and then you don’t plan on opening it again. Or maybe you have an expensive text and are looking for a way to save some cash? Either way, rental textbooks are for you. Use the textbook for the semester and return it to us at the end--it’s as easy as that! Rental can even save you up to 65% off the price of a new textbook.
Digital course materials: Perfect for the tech-savvy student who would prefer to carry around a laptop or tablet rather than a bag full of books. Many textbooks now come in the format of a digital download. But these aren’t just your average textbooks--the digital technology allows the publisher to put videos, charts, and other active media right into the text that will take your learning experience to the next level. (Some of these are also available in rental format--the digital material will simply be deactivated at the end of the semester.)
