The University Co-operative Bookshop on Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Bathurst Campus won a top award at the 2007 Australian Book Industry Awards ceremony in Sydney in November. Mr Mark Bancroft, manager of the Bathurst Campus branch, said that his outlet was named 2007 Australian Publishers Association Small/Regional Bookstore of the Year. “The staff and I are very proud to have achieved this level of industry recognition and we will continue to provide the best textbook service possible,” Mr Bancroft said. “I thank all at CSU for their support and co-operation which plays such a large part in our success. We sell about 55 000 individual volumes each year, and about 70 per cent of our business is to distance education (DE) students. We send orders to CSU students in all corners of the globe.” The Bathurst Campus branch was established in 1970 and processes DE orders for most CSU campuses.
