C.W. Post Now Offers On-line
Textbook Reservations for Students
August 10, 1999 -- Students at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University
no longer have to spend time searching the aisles of the campus bookstore
for their textbooks. They can now conveniently reserve them on-line at
www.bkstore.com/liunet. Within 48 hours of submitting a form on the web,
students can pick up and pay for reserved books at the bookstore.
"The bookstore's on-line form is simple to use and saves time,"
said Jim Woolsey, C.W. Post Bookstore Manager. "Once a student emails
his or her form, our employees locate the books for the student and gather
them into a neat package for easy pick-up."
Students applying on the web should have their class schedule handy
as the one-page form asks for information such as: the department the course
is offered by (i.e. English, math); course number; section number; and
instructor's name. Students can also select either "new" or
"used when available books."
"I think it's a great and convenient idea," said Michelle
Welsh of Seattle Washington, a C.W. Post theater major. "It will certainly
cut down on the time I usually spend scanning the aisles for the many different
books I need for my classes."
FRESHMAN PREPACK: The bookstore has also introduced a pilot program
for new freshman called the Freshman Prepack Program. During the summer,
all incoming freshman were mailed book order forms which they can fill
out and fax or mail back to the bookstore. Their books will then be packaged
and available for pick-up beginning August 23 at the bookstore. Or, if
they are residential students, they can pick them up on Move-in Day (September
5) at their residence hall.
