In this TV news report, the Fox Business channel takes a look at how textbook rentals are
ramping up in campus bookstores, the latest move by stores to help bring down
the cost of course materials for students. The report features an interview
with Alan Martin, CEO of CampusBookRentals, one of several companies that
provide rental stock and technical support to college stores.
Martin
explains why his company chose to work through campus stores rather than go
direct to students. The bookstore, he says, sits at the “epicenter” of campus
life and “holds the competency to serve students better than anyone else.”
