Faculty and departments wishing to utilize this service should contact the Book Division Manager of NCSU Bookstores.
TEXTBOOK ORDERS
Textbook orders must be received by NCSU Bookstores no later than April
5 for fall semester, October 5 for spring semester, and March 15
for both summer sessions. Instructors are asked to provide their departmental
textbook liaison with the following information: Course and section
number, ISBN, copyright, edition, title, author, publisher, semester of
use, whether the text is required or optional, whether the adoption is
a textbook or a course pack, whether cloth or paper is acceptable, and
the anticipated course enrollment.
DESK COPIES
Faculty are encouraged to send directly to publishers any requests
for complimentary desk copies of adopted textbooks. NCSU Bookstores is
unable to provide complimentary desk copies, but will lend a textbook and
charge it on a 60-day departmental invoice.
If the requested desk copy is received from the publisher within 60 days, the textbook department will accept it as a replacement and cancel the invoice. If the publisher’s copy arrives after the invoice has been paid, the textbook department will accept it and refund your payment.
Publisher’s desk copy request forms are available from NCSU Bookstores.
SPECIAL ORDERS AND SERVICES
If there is special equipment or supplies which instructors would like
to make available to students, the NCSU Bookstore will include them in
our stock. The Merchandise Division Manager and buyers are very willing
to work with instructors. Please feel free to contact them whenever they
may be of service.
