overview of this information and the new
textbook ordering process which helps the
faculty make better textbook ordering
decisions (the booklet is available at The
Loch Shop).
As part of the Council’s communications plan,
Campus Review is featuring a five part series
of articles on "The Facts About Textbook
Pricing." In this issue, we look at Cost Saving
Alternatives to traditional textbooks.
The Loch Shop now offers textbook
rentals and “Jumpbook” e-books to help
students save money.
What is a Rental?
Renting a textbook is less expensive than
buying one. With textbook rentals, you
pay to use the book for a semester, and
then you return the book to The Loch
Shop. Because you won't be keeping the
book, you pay less. But be careful — if
you don’t return the book you will be
billed the full price of a new book.
Why should I buy or rent course materi-
als from The Loch Shop?
Shopping at The Loch Shop offers many
advantages, including:
• You are assured the correct book based
on the order received directly from the
instructor.
• You do not have to wait for the book to
be shipped to you.
• You will receive the excellent customer
service you have come to expect from The
Loch Shop.
• You receive competitive pricing (online
is not necessarily less expensive).
• The money you spend on campus stays
on campus and is used to fund a variety of
projects that benefit students, like scholarships.
What is a JumpBook?
JumpBooks are digital textbooks with
enhanced functionality that are fully
downloadable to your computer.
Why should I take advantage of
JumpBooks through The Loch Shop?
Jumpbooks are lower priced than traditional
printed textbooks and have enhanced fea-
tures such as the ability to search the text for
words or phrases, to add comments, and to
create bookmarks. Students also have the
option to print the full text.
The Loch Shop is committed to offering
lower-cost alternatives to traditional text-
books to the students of Clayton State
University. For questions about our text-
book rental program or our Jumbbooks e-
book solution, please contact us at (678)

Clayton State University student
Emily Poole recently received the
Fayette Chamber of Commerce’s
Young Professional of the Year Award
at the Fayette Chamber of Commerce's
Annual Meeting and Awards
Luncheon. Poole works at Allan Vigil
Ford of Fayetteville in fleet sales,
where she is primarily responsible for
sales to commercial and municipal
clients. She also occasionally conducts
individual retail sales.
“I handle our company's interactions
with the Fayette Chamber of
Commerce, and I am involved with
two professional organizations in the
community; Southside Professionals
BNI (BNI=Business Networking
International) and YP Fayette
(YP=Young Professionals),” Poole
says. “I am in leadership roles in both
of these organizations.”
Poole graduated in 2004 from McIntosh
High School in Peachtree City.
Outside of school and work, Poole
enjoys going to the gym and reading.
“The one thing I don't compromise is
my gym time and my fitness/health
interests,” Poole says. “As cheesy as
that sounds, that's how I keep going. I
have to take care of myself! Plus,
working out makes me feel better. I
can feel pretty bad, or tired, or
exhausted, and feel so much better
when I leave the gym.”
Poole is currently pursuing a B.S. in
Integrative Studies, with a concentra-
tion in Psychology. After she gradu-
ates she would like to attend law
school in an evening program, so she
can still work at Allan Vigil Ford of
Fayetteville during the day.
“I’ve been with Allan Vigil Ford of
Fayetteville since 2005, and I previously
worked at another car dealership before I
worked for Mr. Vigil. I went back to
school at Clayton State University in
2008,” she says.
Poole recently started working with her
mentor, Greg Detwiler, on establishing
some goals, both short- and long- term,
for her career. Detwiler works for
Southern Company as a smart grid invest-
ment grant project manager.
“Mr. Detwiler has really helped me define
what my goals are, and how to go about
achieving them,” Poole says. “In addition,
I'm regularly tapping into the wealth of
knowledge he has regarding leadership. At
AllanVigil Ford of Fayetteville, as inmy posi-
tions with other organizations, my vision is to
powerfully and positively impact the organiza-
tions and the community. Mr. Detwiler is help-
ing me develop my abilities to effectively
carry out this mission and to assist others
in every way possible.”
