Textbook Holdings & Inventory Control

A. Textbook Holdings
 
1. A book list, which lists all textbook holdings by department and by class is published each Spring Semester for distribution to each academic department. Textbook Services also maintains an online listing, which is updated once each semester.
2. If more information is needed, we welcome questions about our holdings at any time.
 

B. Inventory Control

1. When a textbook is to be discontinued or replaced, please notify the Textbook Services Manager as soon as possible. Timely placement of orders for new textbooks and timely notification of textbook changes can save substantial amounts of money. 
2. Once each year, during the Spring Semester, a list of textbooks is sent to each department so that teaching faculty and staff members may review textbooks owned by Textbook Services for use in their department. The list includes all texts for all classes taught by the department. The objective of this review is to identify titles that are obsolete, titles that have not been used in some time, titles where the number of copies in stock is substantially greater than the enrollment for the class, and titles that will be replaced before the class is taught again. Faculty/Staff cooperation in identifying titles in these categories is very much appreciated
