the (book) retriever update

so the book swap idea. might as well give people an update.

1. went to oit- oit digs the idea (by the way collier jones is the man for putting barry white on myumbc).

2.oit wants the bookstore directors and vp of financial ops approvals. if approvals are given it will be a go for fall 08.

3. went to get approvals- bookstore director digs the idea- alluded to the idea that the bookstore wants in, but wants a membership fee to have the function work. mike and i are not a big fan of charging people to swap books between each other. trying to avoid that. however bookstore could help us with advertisement- still want to avoid charging people. mainpoint here is that bookstore director approves. so one down one to go.

4. email conversations with vp is happening. this person is impossible to get a meeting with. meeting on 3/3/08. if this one goes through were gonna get the ok from oit and *fingers crossed* book swap will be up in fall.
