Owens Community College Partners with eCampus.com Online Bookstores to Streamline Access to Affordable Course Materials

Owens Community College, a top 10 Best Community College with campuses in Perrysburg and Findlay, Ohio, has selected eCampus.com to deliver a comprehensive course materials solution to support their academic community. With the new eCampus.com solution, Owens is addressing their commitment to further improve affordability and services by providing students the ability to save up to 70% off publisher list prices, including a price match guarantee and free shipping to campus. Beyond cost savings, students can take advantage of every purchasing option, including new, used, rental, digital content, and an expansive network of third-party marketplace sellers.

“We chose eCampus.com as our new store provider partly because of their great reputation in the bookstore industry,” said David Wahr, Director of Business Operations for Owens. “eCampus.com has a proven record of getting orders to students in a timely and accurate manner. I think our students will appreciate additional benefits like free shipping and on-campus delivery, too.”

With the new eCampus.com partnership, Owens will benefit from a cohesive platform that seamlessly integrates with existing systems, creating a customized ordering process utilizing Single Sign-On (SSO). This technology ensures students have a user-friendly course materials ordering experience with flexible delivery options to campus or their doorstep. eCampus.com’s solution will provide students with the textbooks and course materials they need for academic success coupled with superior customer service and 24/7 access. In addition to serving Owens’ students, eCampus.com will also provide course materials for high school students through the College Credit Plus Program (CCP) at Owens Community College, servicing over 180 high schools in the state of Ohio. 

In addition to student benefits, the eCampus.com Online Bookstore will also serve Owens faculty with a reimagined adoption platform that allows for simplified research and selection of course materials. Faculty can take advantage of customized reporting, research titles, and compare pricing to make informed course material decisions. Robust analytics dashboards provide leadership with a high level of visibility to quickly evaluate key data at both an institutional and departmental level. 

“At a time of much academic uncertainty, it is more important than ever that we forge strong partnerships to help propel education and meet students where they are,” said Matt Montgomery, President and CEO of eCampus.com. “Our innovative solution will give Owens Community College students access to affordable course materials with unmatched reliable delivery and customer support. We look forward to uniting with Owens to drive academic innovation.”
