NewTextbook Tools M-Pathways and Ctools

Background Fall 2006: Student concerns about rising textbook costs results in Provost’s Textbook Task Force. Spring 2007: Task force report concludes used book market offers best cost containment. Summer Winter 2008: Faculty alerted to importance of ordering early to support used book market. Summer/Fall 2008: Wolverine Access and CTools teams join forces to develop technical solutions for Faculty, Students, and Bookstores. Fall 2008 (For Winter 2009 textbooks): Faculty asked to order textbooks online through Wolverine Access Faculty Center.

Each Term Has An Order Timeline Winter 2009 Textbook Timelines: –October 29: Date by which booksellers need to know required texts in order to buy used books on open market –November 10: Registration Begins/Students, see book lists in Wolverine Access and CTools –November 26: Date by which booksellers need to know if textbook is being used in order to process orders by start of term –December 2: Date by which booksellers need to know if textbook is being used next term in order to buy back books from students at a good rate See the Textbook Calendar on the Office of Registrar web site for future term dates:

What functionality is available? LIVE! Online Entry of Textbook Data –A uniform method for ordering textbooks and interfacing to bookstore and student tools Bookstore Order Interface –Pulls textbook information daily to order books and/or to facilitate communication between departments/ instructors and bookstores Four Pubic queries to access textbook data now For Students –View textbooks via the Wolverine Access course catalog –View textbooks in CTools My Workspace or Class Sites, if instructor enables

What functionality is coming? Textbook Data Reports – release 12/15/08 –Pulls textbook information for review of book orders and/or communicate textbook issues to instructors For Students –UBook to buy and sell used books to other U-M Students (release 11/22) –View textbooks via the Wolverine Access class schedule (release 12/15)

Is it required? Currently, ordering textbooks through the Wolverine Access Faculty Center is optional but encouraged, particularly for large classes. Participation is needed for the student used book market to be successful. In the future however, these new tools will help the University to comply with the recently passed Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HR 4137). This federal legislation (effective July 1, 2010) requires institutions to list textbooks (with ISBN and price) in their online course catalogues.

How does it work? For each class, textbook information can be entered by Class Maintainers & Textbook Maintainers in MPathways or the assigned class instructors (Faculty or GSIs) in the Wolverine Access Faculty Center.

Tips The bookstores will still have other ordering methods available (e.g., web sites, forms, phone) you do not need to use them. (Note: The Desk Copy process has not changed. You will still request these directly from the publisher.) While you are encouraged to enter textbook information by the early order deadline (October 29, 2008 for Winter 2009) you can make textbook additions or changes through the last day of classes. You should continue to order Qwizdom Student Clickers through the Computer Showcase. For compatibility reasons, these can not be ordered through bookstores. Current ordering processes within departments should be reviewed to take best advantage of the new tools. As a result, departmental processes may change.

More Tips If you chance existing textbook data (changes can be made until the last day of classes). The changes will be reflected in all locations but students will not receive a change notification. You may want to notify them (i.e., send change notice via Class Roster feature or post a notice on CTools class site). Textbook information associated with cancelled classes is automatically deleted and this information is sent to the bookstores. Only textbooks with a valid ISBN can be entered. Enter items without a valid ISBN as “Other Material.” If your valid ISBN search does not provide the expected results, please enter the textbook as “Other Material.” (e.g., U-M custom material, bundled material)

Help Students Save on Textbook Costs Please Order Textbooks Early Still useful to enter Winter 2008 Textbooks For Fall 2009 by April 14, 2009 For more information read: University Record: Online tool helps support early textbook adoption Textbook Task Force Report: Research and Recommendations 4/10/2007 Faculty Business Help pages
