With college academics moving quickly, students try to get affordable resources that help them get the needed learning materials properly. Now, students are able to use a marketplace where they can trade educational documents such as textbooks and scholarly texts, among themselves. The bidding system offered by the platform results in more participation from students in their textbook deals. Students get to use the platform's accessible design which works for people familiar with technology as well as those who are new to the field. As well as providing user bids, the platform offers sustainability support by encouraging students to trade books as opposed to having them stay unused. The cost of textbooks has risen so much that it is now a big problem for students everywhere. Many students must decide to pay for education materials or daily needs because the cost of books is too high for them. Using traditional ways to get college books such as bookstores and libraries, means that costs go up and operations cannot be maintained. Having to update their materials because of new editions makes textbooks much more costly for students. Many students still prefer old-fashioned books to digital textbooks and Open Educational Resources (OERs) when gathering study materials for schoolwork. Because of the resale system, students are able to get materials for school at a better price and without problems. Because of enhanced security, reliable materials can be found and exchanged by using personal search tools and accessing information from the member community. The platform encourages sharing ideas at school, helps students save money and makes learning more environmentally friendly. There is a plan to help students during their studies by connecting each book to a new audience. Our mission is to academic resource swapping through collective membership.
