Spring Semester Textbook Adoptions

Janie Fouke, Provost

Faculty and departments are asked to submit their Spring term textbook adoptions at http://www.textadoption.ufl.edu using their GatorLink username and password. Please submit this information by October 21st, 2005.

The posting of textbook requirements by this deadline helps students, as well as the local bookstores. Students can view course textbook requirements during registration on ISIS. This information helps students balance their course loads based on reading requirements and plan for their financial needs for purchasing books. Bookstores can begin the ordering process to ensure timely arrival of texts for these terms. These vendors also learn what texts will be in demand and can provide students with better prices on book buybacks.

UF students have overwhelmingly endorsed the availability of textbook information online and have indicated it aids in course selection.

If you have any questions about the textbook adoption process, please contact the textbook adoption services manager at jmeriwe@ufl.edu or 392-0306.
