Man on the Street: Book checkout system

Tiffany Tyler

The university’s bookstore changed their textbook checkout system to save money and make the process go smoother. The Appalachian asked some students how they felt about the new process.

“How do you feel about the new book checkout system?”

 “I feel like eventally it’s going to be a lot more efficent, but I feel like right now everybody is still trying to get used to it is due to students not knowing exactly where we’re going, so I think that next year’s it’s going to be a lot better but this year it’s kind of hectic.”

– Senior public relations and journalism major Tiffany Tyler

“I think the new rental system is actually very good and it’s a lot more systematic and works well with how many people we have coming in and out and it saves a lot of money.”

– Senior hospitality and tourism management major Michael Brookman

 

 

 

 

 


“I feel that the new rental system is working well, but I dislike the fact that we have to allow other people to pick out our purchase books. As an English major, I end up buying a lot of extra books and I don’t always want to buy them all at once so I think it’s kind of annoying and not as efficient to let them pick our books as well.”

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in 2024!

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
