Book Rack Goes On-Line

SALISBURY, MD--"Salisbury State University students can now purchase textbooks online as a result of a partnership between SSU and eFollett.com. We were looking for an online solution that would provide us with the best opportunity to meet the needs of our students," said Kaaren M. Kundell, textbook manager of the Book Rack, SSU's campus bookstore.

"Students can now take their class schedule, log onto the stores Web site and order their books. The process is simple and customer-friendly," said Kundell. The list of books comes directly from us, so students know they'll be getting the exact book that professors are requiring as well as other optional materials.

Students will also find other information at the site including a Whats New page, in-store promotional announcements, feedback for the store, a chat room and store hours. The Web site address is www.salisbury.bkstr.com.
