This message was originally sent to employees by Chris Read, associate provost, students.

Though most of us are now working away from campus, many of us continue to have needs for supplies and resources. Print + Retail Solutions (P+RS) is providing our community with critical products and services during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The team is continuing to process orders placed online at wstore.ca and wprint.ca.

Print + Retail Solutions provides physical and digital third-party course materials to students. They also handle the print production of faculty-authored course notes and related courseware services.

The team at P+RS is working with Central Stores to make sure we can deliver printed learning resources when students need them, shipping orders to students wherever they are.

The team has already delivered 8,700 third-party digital learning products to students in the 2019/2020 academic year. They are developing plans to deliver more digital learning resources. In fact, they are helping campus partners (CEL, CTE, and the Library) to strive for a seamless transition to online course delivery.

As work-from-home needs evolve, P+RS an help you get hold of essential aids such as headsets, noise-cancelling headphones, cables, printers, laptops, external drives, and more, available for home delivery from the Work From Home online feature shop at wstore.ca. Special requests for items can be made at wstore@lists.uwaterloo.ca.
