Bookstore now offers computer sales

The UVic Bookstore is now a one-stop shop for books, gifts, clothing—and computers. UVic’s computer store closed last month and retail sales of computers for personal use shifted to the Bookstore on April 6.

UVic Systems will continue to offer computer sales for institutional use and service for computers previously purchased from the Computer Store or from the Bookstore. Such sales and service are available at systems’ new computer purchase centre, located in the former Computer Store location (Clearihue C143).

“This operational change takes advantage of the strength of both units,” says Director of Campus Services Jim Forbes. The consolidation of the two services resulted in the loss of four positions. One of the affected employees has already found a new position on campus.
