At this weekend’s Campus Market Expo, the National Association of College Stores’s technology research and development subsidiary, NACS Media Solutions, announced that it is launching a partnership with self-publishing giant Lulu starting this month. The goal is to help college stores become publishing hubs both on campus and off through online selling options and customizable print and e-book self-publishing solutions.
“Community-based self-publishing is another way in which college stores can connect and add value to their communities,” said Mark Nelson, CIO of NACS and v-p of NMS. “We are excited to bring Lulu’s recognized expertise and experience in self-publishing to our members.”
Among the schools participating in the pilot program with Lulu are: Montezuma Publishing at San Diego State University, Jayhawk Ink at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, and Odin Ink at Portland State University in Portland, Or.
