Effective the Fall 2, 2001 classes we have contracted with one of the largest mail order textbook vendors in the country which currently serves thousands of individual distance education students nationwide. The company is MBS Textbook Exchange, and is the largest used book wholesaler in the nation. With over 5 million books in their Columbus, Missouri facility, they created the MBS Direct program to help us provide our off-campus students with improved customer service. In effect, we are removing the middleman from our textbook services and enabling you to get your books direct from the vendor holding the inventory. This means you will have more control over your textbooks, more options on the delivery of your books/course materials, and assurance that your books will be available when you need them. This will ultimately result in cost savings, convenience, reliability and better services for you . Here's how it works:

• MBS Direct will maintain a current list of our courses and the books/materials for those courses.
• You can call MBS Direct at 800-325-3252 and give your school name, site or program, and course number or access the Virtual Bookstore at http://bookstore.mbsdirect.net/WEBSTER.HTM.
• You may pay by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.
• Orders will be shipped within 24 hours.

MBS operators are available to take your calls as follows (all times are CDT/CST):
