The online bookstore also includes an eLibrary shelf that allows students to access all of their ebooks and other electronic materials in one place. Students who live on campus will receive their materials through campus post offices at Nathaniel Rochester Hall and Global Village, and students living off campus will receive their materials through their regular mail carriers. Instead of requiring that students pick up their materials from a specific location, the virtual bookstore will ship materials directly to the students. The site will show a variety of options for purchasing or renting the materials from different sellers, including third parties like Amazon, allowing students to compare prices and modalities.
