Passing on Textbooks to Juniors

[ShivangiSingh17]

What is the issue that you are facing?
Every year new students are enrolled for different courses and there might be a need for buying books. But mostly the course books followed in our college are the same, for years. But due to lack of time and communication, students end up buying new books. It would be better if the books could be passed to the new course enrollees.

How often do you face this issue?
When I joined, I bought some of the books that seniors were already having and were useless for them.

Do you think, a lot of your friends face the same issue?
Most of the people faced this issue and ended up wasting a lot of money.

What do you think is causing the issue?
Lack of automation and Lack of communication

Have you thought of any ideas that may solve the issue?
Designing a web or an android app where a database record can be maintained for the books a person wants to sell and also the books a person wants. Then according to the contact details, people can contact each other and exchange books as per the availability.
