...The Impact of the Internet and New Technologies on the Book Retail and Publishing Industries in the United States Jim Overman, Internet/Technical Coordinator Consortium Book Sales & Distribution St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Size of the Book Market in the United States In the year 2000, the size of the book market in the United States was approximately $25.5 thousand million. Of that figure, internet sales represented approximately 5%. Two Models of Internet Book Retaililng Since the beginning of the retail of books on the internet in the early 1990s, two primary business models have emerged: the strictly virtual bookstore and the “clicks and mortar” combination of virtual and physical stores. These models are also found in other retail ecommerce. Strictly Virtual Model The strictly virtual bookstore is a store that only exists on the internet. The best known of these stores is Amazon.com, which began selling books on the internet in 1995. The advantages of an entirely virtual bookstore include: 1) The ability to offer a wider selection of books.

...Service Quality and Students’ Overall Satisfaction with University University experience is rite of passage for many young people. Students often leave their homes for the first time to live with their peers in another city or even a different country (Hendrickson, Rosen, Aune, 2011). With this coming of age experience, come many unique challenges and obstacles. One of the major adjustments to university life for many students is adjusting to the quality of the cafeteria services (Hartwell, Edwards, & Brown, 2011). Students have various eating habits and preferences and it is the responsibility of the cafeteria services of the university to attempt to provide both nutritious and palatable food for diverse student body. With little alternative to the food provided on-campus, students often have to rely on the cafeteria service to supply them with their daily caloric intake. Add to this the caveat of international students from all over the world and the problem becomes even more challenging A unique challenge is dealing with the adjusting to a diet that is based on principals foreign to the student. For example, a school that provides a vegetarian diet would be a unique experience for many international students. Living in such a context may be challenging for them. As such, how does this experience with such a diet impact the student’s perception of the food services? In addition, does such an experience with the food have any affect on the students’ satisfaction with the university...
