How to customize a POGIL activity book using Wiley’s Custom Select system.

2. http://customselect.wiley.com You will need an account with Wiley.
If you don’t have one, you will need to create it and they will look to make sure you are an instructor of higher education.

Follow the process to develop an account. There will be a short waiting period (perhaps a couple of days) while you are being verified as a legitimate instructor.

11. To add your own activities:
Go back up to the top to upload any non-Wiley content. Make sure that you are allowed to use any content and are not appropriating someone else’s intellectual property!!
After a couple of clicks, and an acknowledgment that you are the owner of the uploaded material, you can upload any MSWord or PDF file. PDF is better.

These are just the window dressing on the book and they do seem to take a while to change each piece…. Be patient.
The Product Summary page does have some important details.

15. You will need to put a course enrollment and start date
You will need to put a course enrollment and start date. Wiley does not seem to care if this is a small enrollment. They just want to make sure that their production people are aware of the new title.
Note the Estimated Price….
This is what your bookstore will be given…. They may charge a little more…

16. At the bottom half of this page, you get more content details for the product. And then you submit for publication.
That will generate an and the Custom Select group will generate a unique ISBN for your custom book in a couple of days.

17. I usually just go back to the Custom Select site and find it there and give that to my bookstore.
That ISBN will only work for Wiley and will only work for your campus bookstore. Furthermore if you do your book orders electronically, it is likely that someone in the bookstore will need to manually enter this unique ISBN for you. However, once it is in your campus system, it will likely be available in subsequent semesters.
Notes: Students will only be able to buy this book at your campus bookstore. But it is really inexpensive.
$43 for a whole semester of POGIL and three full chapters from Spencer, Rickard and Bodnar!!!

18. Also note that these books can take 2-3 weeks to produce, and ship --- more during the busy times so you will want to:
Make sure you give your bookstore enough lead time to have enough copies on hand.
Make sure you are firm with your bookstore about the number of copies they will need at the start of the term. My bookstore looks at a weeks-old enrollment figure and orders that many. Then when the semester starts I am 10 short. Try to estimate the number you need on the first day of class, so they have enough.
Bookstores have difficulty sending back custom publish materials, so they don’t like to have extra. If you are going to be using the book in multiple semesters, tell the bookstore it’s okay to keep extras!
