OCALA, Fla. — College of Central Florida (CF), the higher education hub for Marion, Citrus and Levy counties, has selected BibliU as its partner to launch MyCF Books, a flat-rate course materials program, alongside a modernized campus store experience for students, faculty, staff and the broader CF community.
Through MyCF Books, CF students have access to required course materials for one predictable cost, available by the first day of class, without having to hunt for individual titles across multiple stores. Opt-out flexibility means students who don't need the program aren't paying for it, an approach BibliU built around CF's particularly diverse student population, including dual enrollment, continuing education and a significant number of military and veteran students. Rather than fitting CF into a standard access model, BibliU aligned MyCF Books with the college's actual mix of terms, student populations and existing open educational resources, with multi-term access built in.
"The College of Central Florida is excited to partner with BibliU to offer our students an improved bookstore experience to promote academic success with affordable and accessible textbook options," said Dr. Jim Henningsen, CF president.
Beyond course materials, the partnership modernizes the campus store itself: bringing the online and in-store shopping experience into one system, expanding the selection of school supplies, accessories, gifts and CF-branded merchandise, and upgrading e-commerce so students can shop for everything in one place instead of juggling separate systems. For CF, that also means simpler day-to-day operations behind the scenes, freeing staff to focus on students instead of managing disconnected retail and course materials systems.
"CF is woven into the daily life of Central Florida in a way that feels really meaningful, from Ocala to Citrus and Levy," said Dave Sherwood, Founder and CEO of BibliU. "MyCF Books is built around the realities of CF students, whether it be dual enrollment, continuing education, or military service, while keeping affordability at the forefront. We're proud to support that with a simpler, more connected campus store experience and help students start the term with more clarity, confidence and connection to their college community."
The partnership expands BibliU's growing partnerships in Florida and reflects increasing demand from institutions looking to modernize the campus store while making course materials more affordable, accessible, and predictable for students.
