| Committee | Student Affairs |
| Result | Not Implemented |
| Remarks | FAILED - Approved by University President. Memo sent to SC President TJ Barber from president of bookswap.com regarding a partnership between SC and the site. It appears that this was never implemented. |
| Whereas | The UTA bookstore does not provide a service to students to purchase books from other students; and |
| Whereas | Such programs exist at other institutions; and |
| Whereas | A book exchange program will allow students to sell books to other students at higher prices and buy books at lower prices than the bookstore; and |
| Whereas | The amount of money required to purchase all books for every class is significant. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | A book exchange board be placed and displayed at the UTA bookstore and on the Student Congress home page. It would allow students to post their name, phone number, title of book, author, edition, and requested price; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Student Congress adopt this program and be responsible for the update and maintenance of the book exchange board. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | This resolution shall take effect immediately. |
