He also included that you can email Barnes and Noble @ RIT with your book/class information (here is the form: http://rit.bncollege.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/BNCBLocationAndContactView?langId=-1&storeId=35554&catalogId=10001 ) and you should receive a response within 48 hours.

Either way, normally searching for the author and book name is usually sufficient in discovering better prices, however it discourages students from doing so without the ISBN number (ie - most students "play it safe" and spend more, getting it from the bookstore). All in all, it's quite discouraging and annoying. Nowdays, I usually use Amazon or BookMaid to find books. Not having the ISBN numbers is quite annoying.
