Re: April 1 – Book Adoptions Due

Textbook adoptions and class supply lists for summer and fall 2008 are due to the bookstores by APRIL 1.

Textbook adoption forms have been distributed in your mailboxes. Please contact your bookstore with any questions. If you did not receive the forms or need more please let your bookstore know and we will make sure that you get what you need from us.

We continue to offer the option of placing your textbook adoptions ONLINE for Truax classes. Start by going to the MATC Bookstore webpage. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on “Faculty.” Fill in the boxes on this page accordingly, and then click “Submit” when finished. Upon submission, you will receive an email confirming your order. If you have any questions please contact the bookstore at (608) 246-6017.

TWO STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM ONE USED BOOK! Your current student receives cash back at buyback, and your future student saves money purchasing the same book next semester! Accurate and timely information from you provides an opportunity for a successful used book buyback. The bookstores will be buying used books based on the information provided by you.

When selecting your textbooks, keep in mind that we will order whatever book you choose. If it is your intention to order a custom or bundled textbook, please keep in mind that the ability to buy back used copies is affected. Custom publications and bundles will not be available from a used book wholesaler. After completing a course, students may not be able to sell the bundled or custom books to the bookstore due to missing or incomplete components. If ordering a bundled textbook, it is critical that you inform us if the components are used for the class or not.

For questions please contact:
Truax – Bettie Coffey, 246-6017 bcoffey@matcmadison.edu
DTEC – Kathy Last or Don Wesolowski, 258-2417

Thank you for your support in this continuing effort to better serve our students!
