Talk:The participatory culture of UTM Buy/Sell/Trade/@comment-27015456-20151028015548

Interesting topic and very relatable. For the method I would say you should interview more users to get a better range of responses. It would also be interesting to show how other book exchanges work for example the used book service on amazon.ca or kijiji.ca. Also, I did a quick search of the UTM Book Exchange Facebook page and what I immediately noticed was that there was more activity regarding social events than actual book exchanges. Perhaps it's because we are midway through the semester and students usually buy their books in the beginning of the semester. Does that mean that at different times of the year the partcipation is of different types and is higher at different times of the year? Also, due to the large following do people see it more as a way to spread information about their events than actually selling books?
