Following the announcement last year that Unibooks would no longer continue trading, Flinders has secured a replacement in bookstore The Co-op, a provider to approximately 20 universities throughout Australia.
April 8 will be Unibooks’ last day of trade at their Flinders store, with The Co-op to commence from the last week of April, coinciding with the end of the mid-semester break.
The Co-op has a strong online presence and has undertaken to make their Flinders outlet available as a collection point for orders. They will also be looking to provide limited services to Sturt, Tonsley and FMC as part of their operations.
Flinders has requested Co-op to provide a service that aligns as much as possible with the Unibooks model to allow a smooth transition for students and staff.
The Co-op is in the process of appointing a dedicated Flinders University liaison, however, in the interim, their contact person for all enquiries is: Michelle Rowe, The Co-op SA Regional Manager, ph 0409 557 842 or email mrowe@coop.com.au
For faculty and department special requirements, please contact: Tess Knight, General Manager of Academic Relations & Operations, ph 0411 231 322 or email tknight@coop.com.au
