The first week of class is the time
to get settled in, meet new people and
figure outclass schedules. After that,
it’s time to hit the books.
Students at the University of Ne
braska-Lincoln can find books for
their classes at the Association of
Students of the University of Ne
braska Book Exchange, the Univer
sity Bookstore and the Nebraska
Bookstore.
The AS UN Book Exchange,
which began in the spring of 1988,
allows students who wish to buy or
sell a textbook to register the book
with the office, according to Marlene
Beyke, AS UN’s director of develop
ment.
She said the office acts as an infor
mation source, with the students
doing all of the actual buying and
selling.
Students who want to sell books
through the book exchange should go
to the ASUN Student Information
Center, 115 Nebraska Union. Once
there, they must fill out a card listing
their name, address and phone num
ber as well as class name, professor’s
name and the title and author of the
book.
Students who want to buy a book,
Beyke said, can look in the file,
which is Arranged by subject area, to
see if a book they want is listed.
The exchange “definitely bene
fits the people that are selling because
they don’t always get a marketable
price elsewhere.’’
Dick Lewis, University Bookstore
operations manager, said the Univer
sity Bookstore, located in the lower
level of the Nebraska Union, pays
sixty percent of the original price for
books that will be used the next se
mester.
Lewis said the store calculates
how many books will be used the next
semester to determine the number of
books it will buy at the sixty percent
rate. Other books are bought back by
a wholesaler for a lower price.
The sixty percent buy-back rate
applies to books that students sell
back in May and December, Lewis
said. The bookstores buy back at the
wholesale rate throughout the year.
In addition to the store at the city
union, new and used books also are
available at the University Bookstore
in the East Union for all classes that
are on East Campus, he said.
The new photo ID office is located
in the University Bookstore, so most
new students will visit the store be*
fore school starts. Lewis said students
can use the new ID as a credit card at
the University bookstore.
At the beginning of the school
year, the University Bookstore offers
sales on school supplies such as pens,
pencils, notebooks and backpacks.
The Nebraska Bookstore, 1300 Q
St, always has a promotion at the
beginning of the year, according to
manager Jerry Mullinix.
He said that last year, the book
store gave away free books for a
semester to one student each day
during the store’s ‘‘rush week,”
which is the first five days of class.
This probably will be the store’s pro
motion this year, too, Mullinix said.
* ‘ I can ’ t think of anything better to
give away that the students need,” he
said.
Mullinix said the Nebraska Book
store has the largest general book
section between Chicago and Denver
with more than 50,000 books. He said
the bookstore has the most used text
books in the city because it is part of
the Nebraska Book Company, which
is the largest wholesaler in the coun
try
The Nebraska Bookstore buys
back books that students will use the
following semester at fifty percent of
the original cost. If they will not be
used the next semester, books are
bought back at wholesale ‘ ‘ which can
be from nothing on up,” Mullinix
said.
In addition to books, both book
stores carry cards, school supplies,
art supplies, calculators and ‘‘Big
Red” clothing. Both stores also have
post offices and copy centers.
