Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Ind., is switching from Follett to Barnes & Noble College, the Valpo Torch reported.
In January the university announced it had signed a new five-year contract with B&N College, and though Follett's contract technically won't expire until the end of June, the two companies currently are working on the transition. Over spring break, the bookstore will close so that Follett and B&N College can switch out computers, cash registers, and other equipment. Looking ahead, the bookstore may eventually add lounge space or a coffee shop.
Once part of the same company as the bookstore chain, B&N College split off as a separate entity approximately 10 years ago.
