Marymount Manhattan College Partners With Akademos To Manage Bookstore and Bring Affordable Options To Students

Starting January 2020, Akademos, the leading provider of an online bookstore platform, will begin managing the new Marymount Manhattan College online bookstore. This partnership will enable a seamless process for faculty to adopt and order textbooks and course materials and will give students expanded access to a vast selection of low-cost textbooks through a personalized online ordering experience. By leveraging Akademos’ full-service platform, Marymount Manhattan College will benefit from a more transparent, convenient, and cost-effective solution to manage course materials and measure usage.

“At Marymount Manhattan College, we are committed to the success of our students, and one important way to help them succeed is by addressing textbook affordability,” said Sharon Meagher, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty, at Marymount Manhattan College. “Utilizing a centralized, online platform that expands selection and lowers costs is an innovative step forward that allows our students easy access to affordable textbooks.” 

The Akademos online platform will support MMC’s faculty and administrators with a comprehensive course materials adoption process that includes a step-by-step guide for selections, recommendations, and past adoption history along with the ability to compare prices in real-time. The paired analytics dashboard will give leadership increased visibility into the entire process for managing course materials with the ability to track critical data, including student purchasing and utilization and to communicate with faculty and students via built-in email notifications.

“We fully support Marymount Manhattan College in taking this innovative step towards providing their students, faculty, and administrators with powerful tools that will reduce course material costs and streamline the course material management process,” said Raj Kaji, CEO, Akademos.
