Online Coursepacks Through a Campus Bookstore: A Test Study - James B. Tyler, DEOSNews
During the academic year 2002-2003, the Associated Student Bookstore at California State University, Chico provided electronic coursepacks for several classes to test the potential of offering this service broadly to students. This paper reports the results of this experiment, discusses the subsequent decision to partner with XanEdu, a commercial coursepack provider, and offers recommendations for the use of online coursepacks. Most faculty at CSU, Chico who want paper coursepacks of journal articles and book chapters for their courses contact the campus bookstore. The bookstore acquires copyright permissions for these materials through the Copyright Clearance Center. The requested number of copies of each packet are then printed by the campus print center and sold to students in the bookstore. This service frees instructors from the time consuming tasks and the liabilities of acquiring copyright permissions, printing, and handling money for the packets.
