Timeline
In order to give your teaching faculty time to review their course resources and prepare for teaching, we strongly recommend submitting desk copy requests 4 to 6 weeks prior to the start of the quarter.
Substitutions
Electronic or online resources will be provided/substituted for print materials when available at no cost from the library, publisher, or VitalSource*.
When is authorization required?
A dean must approve authorization for the following requests:
- Duplicate copies of materials previously provided
- Recommended or review materials not available for free from publishers
- Reference materials (such as the APA Style Manual) not listed as required for the course
- Materials for faculty not yet hired
- Materials purchased for course developers and subject matter experts who are not teaching the course
- Materials for facilitators, tutors, and advisors
- Print versions of resources available online at no cost
*VitalSource
You are always welcome to check VitalSource prior to putting in a course resource request. You can find the instructions for that here:
