Be Book Smart: Overview

Find your books too expensive? So do we!

Your Students’ Union has been working together with the Bookstore toward reducing the cost of materials by initiating a national collaboration effort. We have been working with post-secondary institutes from across Canada — and now we are looking for your help.

Students, instructors, and administrators make for a powerful alliance and have significant power to change things for the better. A little change can go a long way: if one single instructor switches from a $150 textbook to a $100 textbook in a 200-student class, the student population will have saved $10,000. Imagine what we can do if we all work together!
