Information Kit for New Faculty

Welcome New Faculty Member:

The York University Bookstore wishes to congratulate you on your appointment as an instructor. On this Faculty and Staff page we have a number of information resources to help you order your course materials. These resources are also available on paper and disk, and can be obtained by contacting Michael Legris at ext 22078 or email at mlegris@yorku.ca

The kit resources include:


New Instructor Tip Sheet
Textbook & Course Kit Contacts
Textbook & Course Kit Schedule
Textbook Buyers Subject Lists
Obtaining Examination & Desk Copies
Publisher Contact List Spreadsheet

All of these are available under the subheadings of the Faculty & Staff Page - except the tip sheet which is lower on this page.

As well as providing you with your course materials, the Bookstore is also your one-stop service centre for books, stationery supplies, gifts and York clothing. If you have a departmental budget account or personal expense account, you qualify for discounts on Bookstore purchases. In addition there are no taxes charged.

There are three information areas on the main floor of the Bookstore that can help you with your purchases - the Trade, Stationery, and York Shop desks. Our Glendon store and textbook information desk are also available to answer your questions.

Questions regarding budget purchases can be directed to our accounting department, Lisa Febbraio at ext 21046 or email at febbraio@yorku.ca.

Have you published a book or are planning to publish soon? We would like to include a copy of your book in our York Authors section and list it on our website. Contact our Marketing & Special Events Coordinator, Michael Legris at ext 22078 or email at mlegris@yorku.ca.

If you have a manuscript and are not interested in working with a publisher, contact the Bookstore Director, Steven Glassman for advice on our print-on-demand program. Contact him at ext 33018 or email at glassman@yorku.ca.

New Instructor Tips

Ordering Textbooks


Please don't assume that books have been ordered for your class. The Bookstore does not keep books from the previous term or re-order books without an order from faculty. If you know which book(s) you want to use check with your department staff first about ordering, and if they don't do the ordering, use our online form.

If you require a special edition, a custom package, an access code, or if the book is needed for marks, please indicate this on the online order form.

Information Source

You can contact us by phone, email or in person. Check the contact page for staff you need to speak to.

The Bookstore can provide you with information on previous books used, timelines to obtain books, publisher contacts, as well as follow up questions.

Desk Copies

IMPORTANT
The Bookstore does not supply desk copies. The publishers require you to contact them directly. They will not supply the Bookstore. Use the publisher contacts spreadsheet at the bottom of this page to source the publisher you need. Contact the Bookstore buyers if you need assistance.

Course List Posting

The course lists are available on the Bookstore website about one month before classes begin. The buyers enter the orders as they are received. If you see an error in your list, or don't see your posting, please contact the textbook department immediately.

Course Kits

The Copyright Clearance Centre has many articles archived from previous course kits. Please contact them directly for timelines and availability of articles. They are located on the main floor of the Keele Campus Bookstore, behind the Stationery department.
