CSNE Fall Meeting
Brown Bookstore
Providence, Rhode Island
The college store continues to go through a remarkable
transition. Both as a result of the ever changing technology impacting how
students learn, and the radical changes in consumer attitude and buying
preferences, college stores are struggling to stay competitive, to create
more effective delivery systems, and to maintain a focus on the priorities
and objectives consistent to their academic mission.
This program will address the changing mission of the
college bookstore and how industry leaders are re-defining the college store
mission, and re-inventing new approaches and new models for delivery.
