| Remarks | There's no way to efficiently and continously maintain an online book website by any UTA affiliation. Other Schools (UTSA) seems to have also run into this problem. |
| Whereas | One of the primary financial losses of UTA students is through the cost of text books; and |
| Whereas | The bookstore gives students less than half of the original price that the student paid to purchase the book; and |
| Whereas | The campus currently has an unorganized way of students posting flyers of their books for sale. This creates a messy environment for the campus exterior; and |
| Whereas | Students buying books have a possibility of buying their books cheaper than the bookstore price and students selling their books may be more satisfied with the price of selling theri own textbooks. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | UTA create an online book exchange that can be added onto the existing UTA website. Students wanting to sell books can post text book information including a phone number or someway in which they can meet to compleete the transaction. The online source will basically function as a classified section. |
