It is interesting how different universities handle textbook orders. We are required to give textbook information to our department secretarial staff. The staff person then sends all information to the university bookstore and to other bookstores in town. I don’t think anyone on the faculty communicates directly with the bookstore(s) on textbook matters. I am not sure whather this is a wonderful convenience for faculty or an unnecessary level of bureaucracy! Until I read this post, it had never occurred to me that any other schools did it differently.
David, they actually e-mail us a reminder, and then there’s a web form to fill out the requests. It’s mildly tedious, but not too bad. I just had to call to check on something.
