Textbook Adoption Reminder

May 30, 2012

Dear Humber faculty and textbook decision makers,

This note is a reminder that the bookstore is currently in the process of acquiring books for September 2012.  Receiving your list of adopted materials as soon as possible will allow us to source more used books for incoming students, provide top dollar for students finishing the course, and ensures that we have time to locate all of your materials.

To submit your list of adopted materials, use our online adoption tool for North campus and Lakeshore Campus. If you utilize our website, you  can find the edoption page by going to the "Faculty Services" page, and clicking on edoptions. You will be asked to login or register, and will be asked for a password. The passwords are as followss:

  • North Campus: 947
  • Lakeshore Campus: 948

If you prefer a printed paper copy of your previous  term information, we can provide you with that on request.

Our rental program, Rent–A–Text, enables students to rent their books and save, on average, up to 50 per cent off the cost of buying new. To see if your textbooks are currently available for rent, visit www.rent-a-text.com, click on the “Faculty” link and search for your title. If your title is not currently available for rent you may browse this website to find other textbooks that may suit your curriculum or contact us to see whether your textbook can be added to the program.

Your textbook may also be available digitally through Café Scribe, our solution that provides students with another format for learning as well as a generally reduced price from the traditional print version of a textbook. Students can highlight, take and share notes, print pages of the text, and network with other students either in your class or who are using the same textbook on other campuses. Contact the bookstore for additional information or visit Café Scribe online.

We respect that you are in the midst of a busy time in the term, so please let us know if we can assist you in any way. We are here to answer your questions with the book adoption process or during any time of the year. We look forward to receiving your list of adopted materials.

Thank you
