BookSwap Connect

Abstract

Buying textbooks for the next term can be hard for college students who are on a tight budget. There are not many books available in university libraries, which makes the problem even worse. Textbooks are very expensive, which makes it hard for college students to pay for everything they need. Because university libraries do not have many resources, this problem gets worse, making it harder for students to get the course materials they need. The swapping of textbooks between seniors and juniors needs to be made easier and cheaper. The "BookSwap Connect" app is suggested as a way to solve this problem. It would allow students to find seniors who are ready to sell their textbooks for less money, creating a long-term and cost-effective solution for everyone.
