Jon Donlan, owner of Jon's Notes, supplement. You should still take your
said the biggest misconception about own notes," Donlan said,
his service is that students can buy his Beginning his third year in business,
notes and then skip class. Donlan, a 20-year-old marketing miyor,
"They might get them by, but they're said he first decided to start his busi-
not much of a benefit unless used as a ness when he was in high school. Don-
lan said he had heard of other busi-
mmmmmimmmmmmmmm nesses like his in operaton on the west
coast and decided it would be a good
idea to start one nere.
According to Donlan, his service
provides students with accurate notes
that students themselves are not always
able to take for one reason or another.
Donlan said that when students use
their own notes in combination with
his, the notes can be very helpful.
Jon's Notes provides notes for six
100-level classes and one 200-level
class. All note-takers for Jon's Notes
are either teachers' assistants or grad
uate students in the courses.
Notes are available for the following
courses: Anthropology 1 10, Biology 101,
Zoology 112, Physiology 213, Chemistry
109, Criminal Justice 101 and History
100.
Donlan said students can choose
between two note services. A book of
the past semester's notes in a course
costs $13. A subscription card good for
one course's current notes throughout
the semester cost $17. Donlan said last
semester about 500 students used his
service.
Donlan said getting instructors'
permission to take notes in their
classes was the hardest obstacle he
had to overcome when he first started
Jon's Notes. Without permission from
the instructor, Donlan said, he would
run into a legality problem called
"intellectual properties."
"It's kind of like having a copyright
on what you say," Donlan said.
Donlan said he has expanded the
company's services this year to include
word processing.
Jon's Notes is located in the lower
level of the new Nebraska Bookstore.
