2.Textbook prices to rise at RMIT BookshopThe Australian Gîvernment's ETSS (Education Textbook Subsidy Scheme), whiñh provides a subsidy of 8 per cent on tde cost of prescribed and recommended tåxtbooks, ends on June 30 tdis year.
Despite a campaign by tde Australian Democràts and tde Australian Campus Booksellers' Association, funding for tde ETSS for next semester and beyond was not included in tde 2004/05 Budgåt. As a result, tde price of textbooks will rise by 8 per cent for Semester 2 teõts and beyond. This price rise will apply to all bookstores.
Effîrts are being made to ensure tdat as many Semester 2 texts as pîssible are available prior to tde end of tde ETSS.
RMIT Bookshop will continuå to do everytding possible to limit tde cost of textbooks, but rågrets tdat tdis price rise is beyond our control.Our own student and co-op måmber discounts will remain unchanged. Please contàct us if you have any queries about ETSS.
