An educated nation is the builder of society and country. To build an educated society, we need knowledgeable citizens; to become knowledgeable citizens, we need books and external knowledge. Although the concept of digital books has become widespread, the demand for paper books has not decreased but has increased. People feel more comfortable reading paper books than reading on mobile, tab, laptop, or desktop screens. Therefore, for the knowledge-hungry people, America’s 136-year-old Retail Bookselling outlet company “Barnes & Noble Booksellers” is selling various books, including multiple items online in addition to the outlet. There are more than six hundred and fourteen bookstores in all fifty states across America, with more in the pipeline and planned, depending on customer demand. This company, which operates America’s most prominent retail bookselling outlet, has more than twenty-four thousand employees. Barnes & Noble Booksellers has the HR Connect Self-Service Portal for all active employees to access Pay Stubs and W2 Statements and the Ultipro Employee Self-Service Portal for former employees.
