Reminder to faculty: If you have not submitted your summer/fall 2008 textbook adoptions, please do so as soon as possible.
As of today, we have received orders for 116 titles, out of an approximate 2,000 titles. As you can see, we are not close to having the majority of textbooks orders. The reason we ask for your adoption requests so early is to avoid returning to the publishers textbooks that will be used again next semester.
We also need to plan for the upcoming student book buyback beginning May 6; our best resource for used books is the students on our campus. We conduct a used book buyback each semester during finals week.
If you select the same books for the upcoming semester, and we are informed of this with the receipt of your textbook requisition at least one week prior to buyback, we can offer students 50 percent of the current retail price.
Please help us reach our goal by having the majority of textbooks adopted by student buyback in May. As always, your cooperation is appreciated.
