FALL 2012 Textbook Requisitions were due by FEBRUARY 24, 2012. 

If you have not already submitted textbook requisitions for Summer 2, or Fall semester, please do so IMMEDIATELY!  Contact Barbara Ward in the Textbook Department at Dowdy, (252) 328-6731, or email wardb@ecu.edu with your information. You may also submit your requisition online using the links above.  

The early time frame is set up for several reasons:

1)  So that booklists can be prepared for student schedules so they can find lower-cost textbooks.

2)  The bookstore can search for more used books on the wholesale market to have on the shelves for students.

3.  It is mandated by the UNC-GA and the HEOA, Higher Education Opportunity Act that a minimum of 90% of all textbook requisitions be submitted by ECU faculty and reported at a date PRIOR to each buyback.  The Provost, and Deans ask to be notified of faculty who meet this deadline each term as this must be listed in an annual report to the state. ECU is compared to other universities across the state in this report.

Requesting a Faculty Desk Copy
A desk copy is generally given for every 25 books adopted for a course. An examination/review copy of a textbook may be requested from publishers before adopting it for a course.

Click here to view various publisher's information and requesting procedures.

When requesting a textbook desk copy from Dowdy Student Stores an authorization form must be completed, approved by the academic department, signed, and submitted to the store in order to charge the desk copy to the department.  If the desk copy/examination copy is not returned within 60 days in a like-new, salable condition, the textbook will be charged to the department. You may wish to consider requesting a student copy of the textbook if you plan to return it, as a text stamped Free Desk Copy cannot be sold.

You may wish to see if a digital version of the textbook is available before requesting a hard copy. Free examination of digital textbooks, when available, can be viewed through our CourseSmart link.
