MBS Field Marketing Territory Manager Cathy Slane had the honor of presenting a session at the CACS 2021 Course Materials Virtual Summit. In her presentation, How Course Material Distribution Is Changing, she covered how bookstores adapted distribution methods during 2020 and the growing demand for digital course materials. Today, we will take a brief look at how college stores can help improve digital accessibility.
The final day of the MBS 2019 Forums sessions started with a discussion about digital flexibility. Digital flexibility requires stores to look ahead and prepare for an ever-evolving textbook industry. Staying knowledgeable of industry changes keeps stores ahead of the game and capable of providing the best experience for customers.

Topics: administration, faculty relations, digital textbooks
It’s good to have powerful talking points on hand when you’re engaged in a campus discussion about the benefits of digital innovation or educational technology.

Faculty can be especially strident about anything they fear might harm instruction, including digital course materials.

Our goal: provide our collegiate retail readers with insight that eases communication with faculty about cost-saving options that can boost student success.
