Coursepacks

Coursepacks are anthologies of various materials, such as journal articles, chapters from books and the professor's own work, submitted by the faculty to the Bookstore for distribution. The Bookstore coordinates with the Copyright Office to obtain permission for students to access the material, which is then produced and distributed digitally by the Bookstore.

For further copyright information please see the Copyright Office Coursepack website*

Fall 2021

The Bookstore shall be offering digital Coursepacks exclusively, for those who wish to create a compendium of excerpted materials that are not covered by the Fair Dealing Guidelines. For items that fall within Fair Dealing, readings may be posted on Brightspace. For any questions about copyright please contact the Copyright Office or their comprehensive website for information and FAQ’s.

Out of print titles may be provided as a digital coursepack given enough time to contact the copyright holder(s) and receive permissions. If the Copyright Office is able to receive print permission as well, we may be able to offer Out of Print titles as a print on demand option, with a minimum number of copies.

To request a digital coursepack you will need to first contact the Copyright Office and if permission is given then submit an order through the Bookstore Text Adoption system.

For information on a Desk Copy please contact the Course Materials Order Desk.

Digital Coursepack Submission Guidelines

  • Complete bibliographic details. Please use the Bookstore License Logging Tool for this purpose. Email this log to the Course Materials Order Desk where it will be tagged to your adoption.
  • A short note of permission from the author of any unpublished work.
  • Formats accepted are EPUB and PDF. Word docs can be problematic with formatting.
  • File size is important, the smaller the better but too small and the printing become illegible.
  • Diagrams and illustrations can be tricky as they affect the flow of the file, some images cannot be resized. Copyrighted images can be challenging to receive copyright clearance.
