Information for Faculty
You are in a key position to control and/or reduce the cost of textbooks. Here are a few things to consider:
* Currently, the following publisher formats are not eligible for buy back:
* unbound, three-hole punch, "binder versions"
* bundles containing one-time-use components such as access codes
* texts with tear out pages or where the student writes in them
* If you are considering a bundled package, are all of the included materials going to be used in the course? If not, they may add to the cost.
