The on-line textbook and course material adoption system was initiated in July, 1999. The prototype system contained information on Summer B and Fall 1999 course adoptions. Student users were asked for their comments and they overwhelmingly endorsed the system. The prototype system has been enhanced to improve the efficiency of the system.
Comment sections allow for notes to students or specific information to vendors.
The system replaces paperwork processing of orders and the duplication of orders to multiple vendors. Faculty and staff from all academic units are asked to input textbook and course material requirements for Spring Semester 2000 so it can be made available to students at Spring registration. The target date for submission of Spring 2000 textbook and course material adoptions is October 15, 1999. Please keep in mind that this system does not require faculty to use any particular bookstore. The entire purpose of this effort is to provide students with information about textbook, coursepack, and other reading requirements in advance of the spring semester.
