	Together We Can Make a Difference
	WORKING TO KEEP THE COST OF TEXTBOOKS DOWN
	Chico State Faculty and Staff and the Associated Student Bookstore are a great team. Together we provide your student's Course Material needs and together we can provide them at the best possible price
	What the Bookstore does: 1. We have one of the highest used book ratios in the country! 2. We buy back almost 1,000 titles at Buyback and feature a 50% Guaranteed Buyback program 3. We offer Digital textbooks as a lower cost alternative to buying traditional textbooks. 4. We offer price matching for students through our Textbook Low Price Guarantee Program. 5. We will work with you to locate and offer the lowest cost option for your course materials. 6. We will gladly let you know the retail price of the textbook you are considering adopting
	What the Faculty can do: 1. Get textbook requisitions into the Bookstore as soon as possible       • The earlier the bookstore receives your requisition, the more used books we can obtain for your students       • In order for students to be paid 50% of their purchase price for a book, we must have a requisition prior to Buyback.          (Buyback is always the week before and the week of finals) 2. Make sure the "package" you are adopting is truly a good value for your students       • Ordering a package often restricts the bookstore from buying back the text from students of allowing them to          purchase a used book.       • If you plan on using the extras in a package it may be a good deal, if not, students generally prefer to          purchase the pieces "a la carte." 3. Continue to use the same book and edition as long as remains educationally sound.
