If you’ve ever wrestled with textbook deadlines, confusing adoption forms, or the mystery of why “required” materials sometimes don’t arrive until week three…good news is coming.

Starting January 5, 2026, CSN is partnering with BibliU, a modern, all-in-one platform that makes getting course materials easier, cheaper, and far more efficient for everyone involved. Think fewer spreadsheets, faster access, and happier students.

Follett’s last day on campus will be December 12, 2025, with rental returns due by December 16. After that, BibliU officially takes the reins, bringing a whole new approach to how CSN delivers both physical and digital materials.

Here’s what sets BibliU apart: students in participating courses will automatically receive everything they need by the first day of class right inside Canvas. That means no long lines, no late books, and no “I couldn’t afford the textbook” setbacks. For faculty, the adoption process becomes smoother, with the ability to track engagement data to see which chapters are actually being read (brace yourselves).

“BibliU’s fully integrated academic and campus store solutions offer students reduced course material costs while ensuring high quality and accessible materials for all types of learners by the first day of class,” said Megan Ezekiel, CSN’s Director of Auxiliary Services. “This partnership enhances the student experience and supports learning outcomes by providing the resources students need to be successful in their academic journey.”

Beyond convenience, BibliU’s model has been linked to better outcomes, colleges that use the system have seen higher GPAs, stronger retention, and improved student persistence. And, yes, more students showing up to class actually prepared.

So, as Follett closes its final chapter at CSN, BibliU is ready to start a new one, one that blends affordability, innovation, and a few fewer headaches for faculty and staff.
