As more Barnes and Noble stores are getting into college campus settings, they are replacing many of the bookstores that used to be run by the college or university. As such, they bring with them the wealth of knowledge to operate with financial efficiency, and their library theft prevention techniques and strategies.
Many campus- run bookstores simply had a hard time maintaining them financially. The lack of Checkpoint Systems created too much of a financial struggle to replace stolen textbooks and supplies. A larger retailer who has a system in place can deter a large amount of theft, making the store profitable and the college as well.
Textbooks currently can be as much as six or seven hundred dollars. Some students, who cannot afford their pricey class textbooks, have turned to the campus library as a resource. The problem is that libraries don’t typically loan out a textbook for an entire semester.
So what option do these students have?
Many of them turn to theft. Since libraries without any library theft detection system make for an easy target, students low on cash may turn to the library to steal their textbooks from. As more campus bookstores equip themselves with Checkpoint Systems, libraries become more vulnerable to student theft that normally would have occurred at the bookstore instead of at the library.
