National Student Watch Survey
In the fall of 2015, UMW participated in the National Association of College Stores (NACS) National Student Watch Survey, designed to monitor student preferences surrounding course materials to assist stores in best supporting their students. If all else were equal, 67 percent of students prefer to shop through the UMW Bookstore, 56.66 percent in store and 10.2 percent online, while 59.61 percent used the website to research different format options. Many UMW students were unaware of a price comparison tool on the UMW Bookstore website.
