Tigerbooks facilitates an online book exchange service.
While there are other book exchange systems out there, TigerBooks offers something unique. It is an open-source solution that is completely free for any university or college to use. Additionally, these institutions can contribute to the project, which means that maintenance costs can be shared. This is especially important for academic environments, where students may only be around for a short amount of time. By being open source, there is no need for the university or college to worry about who will maintain the system long-term.
TigerBooks is a highly successful open-source project that will only continue to grow in popularity as more universities and colleges adopt it. It is successful for two main reasons. Firstly, it is an effective solution for students looking to exchange their textbooks. Secondly, it is open source, meaning that it is maintained by a dedicated community of users. As a result, it is continuously being improved upon and updated to meet the needs of its users.
