How do I arrange for my texts to be scanned?

The Digital Text Services Coordinator automatically receives an extra copy of each title ordered by an instructor from the Bookstore. Books received after the 1st week of classes begins will be scanned on a first come, first served basis.

How do I create a coursepack?

You select what you would like your students to read: which chapters, short stories or poems from books; or articles from journals or from the web.  You collate them to be made by Coursepacks, Etc. into a copryright-cleared and photocopied course pack to be sold for a modest price at the Bookstore.  Coursepacks, Etc. will even repaginate the course pack for you if you wish.

Here’s how DTS can help you:

• Provide you with the hard copies from any of the books that the Bookstore has purchased for courses and that I have scanned. 
• Help you to obtain clean copies of articles.  (Copies of copies, with highlights and margin notes will photocopy poorly and scan even more poorly.)  
• Help you collate your “pack” with every text prepared in the same way with duplexed clean copies.
