History

The Southwest College Bookstore Association (SWCBA) originated from a group of bookstore managers from Southeast Texas and Louisiana that met on an informal basis to "swap" books and discuss common problems. The group was tagged as the "Big Thicket" group. In the summer of 1973, this group decided to test-run a book locator with ten stores participating. This was the start of the SWCBA.

In 1974 the SWCBA was founded and expanded into a five-state area encompassing the same geographic limits as the NACS Southwest Region.

Pete Plotts was elected President of this new organization and served as president for the first two (2) years (1974-76).
