Description

Colorado State University Fort Collins (CSU) is a large land grant university with Extension services offered in 62 counties.

Printed educational materials are currently distributed to Extension offices and external customers through a warehouse (the University Resource Center). Customers include Extension staff members throughout Colorado who use the materials for their programs as well as the general public. Orders are taken by phone or through an online ordering system and fulfilled by one full-time warehouse manager. The inventory software, sales tax calculation tool, and linker software for displaying inventory online are licensed separately and are not integrated with University systems. Additionally, our current linker software will be discontinued June 1, 2021.

Converting to a print on demand service rather than inventory distribution may be desirable due to declining print sales not offsetting overhead and uncertainty of availability of warehouse space in the future.
