We switched to a virtual bookstore about a year and a half ago at SPSCC. At that time, the bookstore transitioned into my portfolio (because "it's about books and so are libraries!" 😅). For the first six months I was quite literally running it myself, which
was exhausting, but we now have a fulltime virtual bookstore manager. While those first six months were rough, it has been an absolute godsend when it comes to collection development, textbook cost reduction programming, and OER development. It gives us direct
access to useful data and has allowed us to engage in proactive collection development that has significantly increased faculty awareness and appreciation of the library as an instructional collaborator and resource. I'd ne happy to talk about this more when
we all next meet.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Our colleges are in the stages of renegotiating our bookstore contract and shopping around for vendors. It has been proposed by some that the Library could be the keeper and distributer of textbooks and textbook sales. Understandably,
that is not sitting well with many of our Librarians. </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">What are other college’s bookstore models? How are your Libraries involved, or not, with the college bookstore? Do any of your Libraries distribute/sell textbooks? What bookstore vendors do your institutions use? We have a taskforce that’s
been developed and I want to bring back information from other colleges and their models.
