I'm the manager at Hiram College Bookstore, in Hiram, Ohio.
(It's a bookstore for a small private college out in the middle of Nowhere, Northeast Ohio).
I'm working on something new - competitive textbook pricing. I spent the whole afternoon going thru lists of books for our upcoming semester and lowering prices. It's a bit tedious, but I hope the students appreciate it! We're using an on-line tool called Verba. The students will be able to go on our bookstore website and compare our textbook prices with Amazon and many other sources.
In just the few years I've worked at Hiram I've seen textbook prices skyrocket. My staff and I are working hard trying to find some creative solutions for our students. Hopefully this will be one more way that I'm able to help.
