Oregon Institute of Technology (Oregon Tech) has selected Barnes
& Noble College to manage its bookstore operations. The new
partnership began July 22, 2019 with Barnes & Noble College
commencing operations prior to the beginning of the Fall 2019 term.
Oregon Tech joins Southern Oregon University, Eastern Oregon
University, Clackamas Community College, Linfield College, Pacific
University, and University of Portland, bringing Barnes & Noble
College’s partnership count in Oregon to seven colleges and
universities.
The Barnes & Noble College bookstore will act as a complete
support system for Oregon Tech, providing a social and academic hub
to drive success for the campus community. Through an extensive
offering of affordable learning materials, including new, used and
digital books, a robust textbook rental program and a Price Match
program, Barnes & Noble College will drive significant cost
savings for OIT students. Barnes & Noble College will also
offer an enhanced assortment of school merchandise including
apparel, gifts, school supplies, technology and more, which
students, faculty and alumni can browse both in-store and
online.
Dr. Erin Foley, vice president of student affairs and dean of
students said, “We’re excited about the new access tools that
Barnes & Noble College offers our students and faculty. Oregon
Tech is constantly looking at more affordable teaching and learning
materials for our students that improve their overall university
experience. We look forward to working with Barnes & Noble
College to continue to serve the evolving needs of our students
across all of our academic disciplines and locations.”
The bookstore will further drive access and affordability on
campus through its offering of open educational resources (OER) and
OER-based digital courseware. Barnes & Noble College provides
additional opportunities for savings through its inclusive access
program, First Day™. First Day offers learning materials at reduced
prices through a course materials fee for participating programs.
Students receive their materials on or before the first day of
class, delivered seamlessly through their learning management
system.
Additionally, faculty will gain access to Barnes & Noble
College’s new Adoption & Insights Portal (AIP). The adoption
portal was developed by Barnes & Noble College to solve
challenges faced by higher education administrators and faculty in
the areas of discovering, selecting, and managing course material
adoptions. With AIP, faculty and staff can easily manage and submit
course material adoptions each term, and Oregon Tech’s academic
leadership can view real-time adoption rates and submission
progress at the school or departmental level, and communicate
directly with faculty from within the portal.
“We are thrilled to partner with Oregon Institute of
Technology,” said Barry Brover, Executive Vice President, Barnes
& Noble College. “We look forward to delivering a dynamic
retail experience and seamless access to affordable learning
materials for all Oregon Tech students.”
Barnes & Noble College currently operates more than 770
campus stores nationwide. For more information about Barnes &
