The story behind it

Why this offering exists, and where UMF is with it right now.

What it is

A book ecosystem for students.

A concept connecting students with academic books and learning materials — through student-to-student listings, second-hand books, UMF inventory, borrowing facilitation, discovery and reviews.

The problem

Books are expensive and hard to find.

Academic books are expensive and hard to find; good ones sit unused on shelves while others can't afford them.
