Abstract
The limited availability of textbooks at on campus and public libraries creates a problem for students whose decision of not buying a book relies upon a financial constraint or the knowledge that the books would be relevant just for a limited period of time. This problem is exacerbated when the books are of recent publication and the libraries are unable to provide the most up to date editions. This problem is resolved via a book rental system based on an electronic list of a stock of textbooks provided by the owners of used copies of the textbooks which can be rented for a specific period of time by the customers and obtained personally from the owners or by mail
